2025 DC:0-5™ In-Person Clinical Training -  Nebraska mental health clinicians only

Overview: This comprehensive training is an intensive learning experience in which mental health clinicians are exposed to key concepts and learn how to use the content and tools included in the ZERO TO THREE: DC:0-5™ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood in their practice.

The DC: 0-5™ is a developmentally based classification system that enhances a clinician’s ability to prevent, diagnose and treat mental health and developmental disorders of children ages five and under. It identifies and describes disorders not addressed in other classification systems and points the way to effective intervention approaches for infants and young children.  You will be trained to consider diagnosis in a holistic way, including psychosocial stressors, cultural and contextual factors, physical health, development and the caregiving environment.    

Across these 2 days of training, training participants will learn about the diagnostic classifications in the DC:0-5 through an array of learning activities, including video clips, case vignettes, group discussion, and reflection.

Audience: For Nebraska licensed mental health clinicians only.

Materials: Handout materials are provided in advance electronically, and all participants are required to have the DC:0-5 manual Version 2.0 which is used and referenced throughout the virtual training sessions.

Lunch: Lunch will be provided. Please let us know of any food allergies, and we'll try our best to accommodate you.

Clinicians must be present for the full 12-hour training to receive a certificate of attendance to submit for continuing education credits on their own.
