Event Details:

The New York Center for Child Development (NYCCD), in collaboration with McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, is pleased to announce upcoming trainings on ZERO TO THREE’s DC:0-5™ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-5™).

Funded through the New York State Office of Mental Health (NYSOMH), this comprehensive training is specifically designed for participants who are directly involved in the developmental and mental health evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of children birth to five years of age. Professionals who work in mental health, early intervention, and pediatric settings are eligible to attend. Please note that these offerings are intended for New York State professionals only.

DC:0-5™ is a research and clinically-informed multi-axial diagnostic system that provides a comprehensive guide to the clinical disorders found in young children. DC:0-5™ was developed since existing diagnostic systems do not take into account the unique needs of children birth to age 5. OMH has been working closely with Medicaid to make DC:0-5™ the recommended diagnostic tool for children birth to age 5.

This training provides approaches to diagnosis from an Infant Mental Health perspective which is developmentally informed, relationship based, contextual and culturally responsive. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in one “Community of Practice” call following the training for support on use of DC:0-5™ in their practice.

Participation in this training is free of charge and participants will receive a complimentary DC:0-5™ electronic manual.

We request that you only register for one training cohort to allow all interested participants to attend.
