New opportunities for support using the DC:0-5

Are you an Apple Health mental health professional who attended a DC:0-5 training? Still have questions or want to connect with others who are putting it into practice? The IECMH-WC is offering several opportunities for support this fall!

DC:0-5 Communities of Practice (CoP)

CoPs are spaces to foster relationships with other providers, build upon collective knowledge, and help translate knowledge learned in the DC:0-5™ training into practice in the context of providing IECMH services to young children and their families and integrating developmentally appropriate assessments and diagnosis using the DC:0-5. CoPs are 90 minutes per month for six months and are open to Apple Health mental health professionals who have attended DC:0-5 Clinical Training - learn more.
