Terry Talks: Nutrition (Discussion Guide)

The series "Nutrition" is part of Terry Talks, a curriculum of ongoing video presentations and supporting materials led by Terry Laura (Health Technical Advisor at Compassion International). The resources are aimed at equipping and encouraging health and child advocates to learn, build on, and put into practice their expertise in health, especially as it relates to children in poverty. Establishing good nutrition early on is the foundation for a healthy and productive life. Children who get adequate energy and nutrients during the first two years of life are more likely to experience better health, complete more schooling, and earn more money when they grow up. However, approximately 2 billion people around the world suffer from micronutrient malnutrition. This supplemental guide is packed with more valuable information on nutrition, as well as discussion questions that you can work through with your team to help define how you can take action to positively impact the lives of the children in your community.
