SUMMARY:Early Childhood Court: A Collaborative Approach to a Child’s Well-being
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Early Childhood Court: A Collaborative Approach to Child Well-Being on Wednesday\, January 21\, 2026\, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. EST (11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. CST\, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. MST\, and 9:00–11:00 a.m. PST). \nThis training is ideal for professionals working in child welfare\, early childhood\, health\, behavioral health\, and legal systems. Team leaders and stakeholders who are interested in starting an ECC team in their own communities are especially encouraged to attend. \nThis virtual training features Anne Marie Irving\, Early Childhood Court Coordinator for the 12th Judicial Circuit\, and Kathryn Shea\, LCSW\, a key leader in the development of Florida’s Early Childhood Court (ECC) initiative and a current board member of FASD United. Ms. Irving and Ms. Shea played key roles in the collaborative development of the ECC program in Florida’s 12th Judicial Circuit. Under Ms. Shea’s leadership\, and through the work of The Florida Center for Early Childhood\, ECC was piloted and developed into a statewide\, recognized model that continues to improve outcomes for young children and families. \nParticipants will learn how ECC—modeled after the Safe Babies Court Teams from ZERO TO THREE™—uses trauma-informed\, FASD-informed\, and collaborative strategies to support healing\, promote permanency\, and reduce re-entry into the child welfare system. \nDESCRIPTION: \nEarly Childhood Court\, an adapted approach modeled after Safe Babies Court Teams\, is a collaborative approach among community partners to ensure trauma and FASD-informed care\, child well-being\, and achieving permanency more quickly. Safe Babies\, a program of ZERO TO THREE™\, helps states and communities strengthen child welfare and early childhood systems to support healthy development. Using the Safe Babies approach\, the program works at multiple levels—child and family\, community\, and state—to promote early childhood well-being and long-term system improvements. Rooted in the court system\, it also fosters collaboration across agencies to better serve families. This approach is especially valuable for supporting young children and families affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). \nSafe Babies Court Teams are also known as Early Childhood Court in many communities. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n  \n\nUnderstand the core components of the Safe Babies Court Team (SBCT) approach and its positive impact on infants\, toddlers\, families\, and communities.\nIdentify the short- and long-term risk factors for babies prenatally exposed to alcohol.\nRecognize the importance of a trauma-informed\, FASD-informed court system for children involved in or at risk of entering child welfare.\n\nThis training may help prepare you for competencies related to the Florida Association for Infant Mental Health Endorsement. (For those outside Florida\, check your state’s requirements). \n2 Continuing Education hours are available for Florida-Licensed Clinical Social Workers\, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists\, Licensed Mental Health Counselors\, and Certified Master Social Workers through CEBroker. Certificates will be provided for self-reporting. \nPresenters: \nAnne Marie Irving \nEarly Childhood Court Coordinator \nTwelfth Judicial Circuit\, Florida \nAnne Marie Irving holds degrees in Psychology and Social Work and has earned professional certifications in Trauma and Resilience. With over 20 years of experience in child welfare\, she has dedicated her career to supporting children and families through complex challenges with compassion and evidence-based practices. For the past six years\, Anne Marie has worked directly with the Early Childhood Court in Florida’s 12th Judicial Circuit\, where she applies her expertise in trauma-informed care\, child development\, and family systems to promote healing\, stability\, and long-term well-being for young children and their caregivers. \n  \nKathryn Shea\, LCSW \nFASD United Board Member \nKathryn Shea is a licensed clinical social worker with over 40 years of experience working with children with serious emotional and behavioral disorders and fetal alcohol and drug effects.

Proper identification and intervention can help prevent many of these challenges.This webinar will help attendees identify red flags and signs that may indicate a child has brain-based behaviors as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure.

Her training also includes Circle of Security Parenting\, Families Moving Forward\, Helping the Non-Compliant Child\, Chicago Parent Program\, and Youth Mental Health First Aid. \n  \nCrystal Dethlefs\, FASD Parent Advocate at The Florida Center \nCrystal Dethlefs is the proud biological & adoptive mother of seven\, including four siblings who joined the family as infants\, after prenatal alcohol exposure. She is passionate about providing caregivers and professionals with the knowledge and tolls necessary to support individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders\, recognizing that informed care will bring about positive outcomes for those with FASD.
