	Within the group of trainees, up to 12 mental health clinicians will be selected as prospective state trainers and will receive advanced training. The select group of trainers will agree to use the DC:0-3R in their work and receive up to a year of ongoing clinical consultation and supervision on the application of the DC:0-3R. Consultation is provided through 10 monthly conference calls with the ZTT trainer and involves clinical questions and case discussions. Additional training includes observing future DC:0-3R training and participating in leading that training. These trainers will also participate in two advanced seminars in which they will present cases to their peers and facilitate diagnostic discussions of these cases. These clinicians will agree to train clinicians in their area after the advanced training has been completed. Those interested in becoming trainers must register for the Practitioner Preparation Training and complete the Training of Trainers Application.
