Part of the Programs budget is for purchasing client educational materials for distribution to its Service Providers. How does TPCN select appropriate materials for purchase?
TPCN only purchases educational materials that meet high quality standards. All materials must be relevant to services delivered to TPCN’s target audience, which is comprised of the biological parents (mother or father) of an unborn child, or of a child twelve months old or younger.
