Mother-to-Mother Support Groups: Trainer’s Manual and Facilitator’s Manual with Discussion Guide
Summary: These manuals (available in English and Portuguese) were designed for training mother-to-mother support group facilitators to lead participatory discussions on maternal, infant, and young child nutrition.

The global version can be adapted for a wide variety of contexts.
