Talk With Me Baby Foster Care
The team behind Talk With Me Baby is a collaboration of six leadership organizations, all working to bring the concept of language nutrition into public awareness and educate caregivers on the importance of talking with their baby every day, in an effort to close the word gap.
Endurance Project Management worked with Talk With Me Baby to:
Customize the Talk With Me Baby (TWMB) curriculum and evaluation developed for nurses for use in developing foster parents as TWMB Coaches
Tailor language nutrition coaching training curriculum for foster parents focused on children age birth - 5
Develop supportive training videos specific for the training of foster parents
Set up the infrastructure needed to promote, conduct and support the TWMB- Foster Parent program
Pilot the training with existing foster parents to ensure quality and effectiveness
In 2017, EPM provided TWMB Training Sessions to all foster parent trainers across Georgia through funding from the Department of Child and Family Services. Resources and materials from this work can be found on the Georgia State University, Professional Excellence Program: School of Social Work website.
