Example Script

The intent of this example is not to set an expectation that all of this be read to a potential participant, but rather provide Family Resource Specialists, Community Health Workers, Early Childhood Professionals, and other partners who help families with information to help them share information about our program with their clients. You are encouraged to adapt the script to fit your communication style.
