DC:0-5 Intensive Overview Training
with Sharon Shadwell, LMHC
This Overview Training on DC:0-5™ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood will provide participants with an overview of the background, approach, and content areas of DC:0-5™. It is particularly helpful for professionals in understanding the importance of developmentally appropriate assessment and diagnostic practices for infants and very young children. Participants will learn about infant and early childhood mental health and the emotional and behavioral challenges very young children may experience and will consider how this knowledge informs their roles in working with infants, young children, and their families. This training will support professionals to spot the early signs of distress in young children and feel more comfortable and confident in making referrals to mental health services when indicated. The Overview Training does not prepare licensed professionals to use the tool for diagnosis.
Professionals from all systems of care who are supporting children prenatal through 5 years and their families enrolled in Apple Health are eligible for this for this free training, which is funded by the Washington State Health Care Authority. CEUs for mental health professionals and STARS hours will be provided.
