TMW Community-Wide Demonstration Project

Summary

The TMW Center is launching a community-wide demonstration project in partnership with the Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County, Florida, in which the TMW interventions will be delivered at scale through partners who work with families across health, education, and social service systems. The goal of this partnership is to reach 60% of all families with children age birth through three with at least one TMW intervention over the five-year partnership, with a significant percentage of families receiving more than one intervention. The TMW Center will evaluate the efficacy of the multiple intervention approach in impacting parent knowledge, beliefs, and behavior and child developmental outcomes, and develop an implementation model that can be used in other communities.
