DC 0-3R Practitioner Preparation Taining

During this training, practitioners will learn to assess, evaluate and diagnose mental health difficulties in very young children. The training provides in-depth clinical exposure to the DC:0-3R using case examples and video vignettes along with clinical discussion on differential diagnoses. DC:0-3R training is part of the Illinois Children’s Mental Health Partnership Strategic Plan.

The DC:0-3R is a developmentally sound, relationship-based approach to understanding infant mental health needs. It describes infant mental health on a 5-Axis classification system similar to other accepted mental health diagnostic systems. The DC:0-3R provides a whole approach for looking at infant behavior, which influences how practitioners assess, diagnose and intervene with infants and families.
