DC:0–5™: Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood captures the latest scientific findings and clinical research on infant and early childhood mental health.

 

DC:0-5™ Overview

The DC:0-5™ Overview provides a foundational summary for multi-disciplinary professionals who work with infants and young children, available as a 90-minute infant mental health training webinar. The overview training helps participants understand that infant and young children can experience mental health and developmental disorders, and consider their own role-specific response to this information. Participants will gain familiarity with the background, approach, and content areas of DC:0-5™.

The overview does not prepare licensed professionals to use the tool for diagnosis.

 

DC:0-5™ Clinical Training

DC:0-5™ is the only developmentally sensitive classification system for diagnosing mental health and developmental disorders in infants and young children. The DC:0-5™ Clinical Training promotes an approach to diagnosis that centers culture and is developmentally sensitive and relationship-based. The infant mental health training focuses on the importance of using a developmentally sensitive, relationship-based, contextually grounded, and empirically supported system of diagnostic classification with children from birth through 5 years old.

This training is for mental health professionals or graduate level students enrolled in mental health degree programs, who are responsible for clinical diagnosis and provide mental health services to children birth through age five.
