IMPLEMENT IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Our flexible implementation allows professionals anywhere to use the Baby TALK Family Engagement Model in their community. Your program may adapt the model in order to address your goals to meet families where they are and “Come Alongside” them as they raise their children.
With the Baby TALK Trustworthy System, families in your community can expect for your program professionals to recognize them as the experts on their own child. Families will be engaged using relationship-based strategies and an approach that creates a strength-based collaborative space guided by the priorities, interests and hopes of the family.
The Baby TALK Learning Institute employs an experienced team to provide regularly scheduled training and both individual and group implementation support. In addition, the Learning Institute is a National Brazelton Touchpoints training center.
We offer tailored opportunities for collaborations as we seek to meet programs where they are. Contact us to talk about what implementation might look like for you and your community.
Baby TALK is here to support your program. For more information, contact us.
