Infant Toddler Initiative

Infant Toddler Court (ITC): Healing the Youngest Victims is a service enhancement to the existing Infant Toddler Court and to the Cluster Court. It focuses on implementing a continuum of relationship-based services to facilitate reunification, attachment, emotional and behavioral regulation, parenting capacity, permanency, and overall healing of young victims of abuse and neglect. The Infant Toddler Court (ITC):  Healing the Youngest Victims enhances relationship-based and family-centered services for infants, toddlers, and children. Our goal is to work collaboratively with the Court, CASA, DFPS, and attorneys to improve the well-being of children and support family reunification. VOCA (Victims of Crime Act) provides support to the ITC: Healing to Youngest Victims.

The Infant Toddler Court Initiative provides:

• Education about the importance of early relationships and early development of children
• Parent-child relationship assessments
• TBRI interventions
• Enhanced visitation practices
• Enhanced case management services
• Mental health supports and services

The 328^th District Court in Fort Bend County was one of the five Courts nationwide that began the initiatives for infants and toddlers over 13 years ago.

We work collaboratively to:

• Keep infants and toddlers safe
• Heal trauma
• Preserve and support families where possible
• Divert children from further involvement in the child welfare or criminal justice system
