Cross Sites Meeting 2017: Be The Bridge: Nurture The Present, Build The Future
The ZERO TO THREE Safe Babies Court Teams, in conjunction with The Quality Improvement Center for Research-Based Infant-Toddler Court Teams (QIC-CT), hosted our 11th Annual Cross Sites Meeting from August 16-18, 2017 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Beginning in 2005, the Safe Babies Court Teams Project has hosted an annual meeting at one of our infant-toddler court team sites for child welfare professionals, judges, court personnel, service providers, community coordinators, and other stakeholders. The QIC-CT and SBCT Cross Sites Meeting provides a national learning community to share ideas and innovative approaches, learn about the latest scientific practices in the field, and discuss child welfare policies and practices for infants and toddlers and their families in the child welfare system.
The following resources include presentations and relevant materials for the Cross Sites 2017 Meeting. Click here to learn more about the speakers at 2017 Cross Sites.
