Registration is now open for the 2024 DC:0-5 Clinical Trainings through the Division of Mental Health. Attendees will learn the recommended approach for diagnosing disorders in infancy and early childhood utilizing the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health & Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-5) V2.0 manual. Space is limited, and sessions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Those unable to attend will automatically be placed on a waitlist for future training notifications.
Each three-day training will be conducted virtually on the following dates:
- January 31, February 1, and February 2, 2024, from 9:30AM to 2:30PM CST (30-minute lunch break and two 15-minute breaks)
- April 3, April 4, and April 5, 2024, from 9:30AM to 2:30PM CST (30-minute lunch break and two 15-minute breaks)
12 CEUs will be available for the following license types: LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, LICENSED SOCIAL WORKER/LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER, PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR/CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR
These trainings are very interactive/hands-on and require:
- Active participation all three days to receive credit.
- Ability to join WebEx sessions via a computer (not via mobile app or tablet device).
- Ability to connect to the WebEx Session audio via phone or microphone.
- Individual access to a copy of the DC:0-5 Manual (electronic or hardcopy)
- Handouts will be electronically sent by DMH in advance of the session. Participants will need to print copies of these handouts for use throughout the training.
EACH participant must have access to a manual during the training. If your agency has only one copy available, staff will need to attend separately or procure their own copies.
- If your agency does not currently have a copy of the DC:0-5, individuals registering can request information on how their agency can receive a free copy.
- For those interested in owning their own manual, we have provided the links below to purchase directly from the Zero to Three site.
- Please be advised membership is NOT required in order to purchase from this site.
- DIGITAL copy only
- PRINT copy only
- PRINT & DIGITAL copies
Please note-completing the registration survey does not guarantee a space in a selected training. A confirmation email will be sent informing registrants if they are confirmed or have been added to the waitlist. Confirmed registrants will then receive further instructions for joining the training sessions.
