Infant-Toddler Court Program–State Awards

The Infant-Toddler Court Program (ITCP) State Awards allow states and communities to support and expand use of enhanced child welfare practices in communities across the country that bring together courts, social services, and families to improve the safety, healthy development, and nurturing relationships of families with young children involved with child welfare. The ITCP State Awards support implementation of the evidence-based ITC approach in targeted communities. Awardees ensure successful implementation and expansion by spreading lessons learned to local teams in the state, tracking program outcomes, and training local ITC teams.
