So can you provide some history on Safe Babies Court?

Sure.

Safe Babies Court was created by our national partner, Zero to Three, about 20 years ago.

They still provide technical assistance and oversight to all of the Safe Babies Court sites across the country.

Our state partner here in South Carolina is the South Carolina Infant Mental Health Association, and they brought the approach to South Carolina and helped to first implement the approach here in 2020.

Currently in South Carolina, we have eight Safe Babies Court sites.

Berkeley and Dorchester are the two newest sites in South Carolina, both of which started actively serving families just earlier this year.

So how does someone go about making that referral to the Safe Babies Court program?
