CDP News: July 18, 2014

Welcome to this week’s edition of CDP News! We like to use this space to review recent happenings in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology, while also looking ahead to upcoming events. Summer is in full swing here at CDP, but that’s not slowing us down any!

The Star Behavioral Health Providers program was taking center stage this week.  CDP staff members were out in California to present at events two different events there. Then we delivered training at another SBHP event on Wednesday and Thursday in Michigan. Next week, we’ll be headed to Indiana for another Tier 2 training there as well. For more information about this great program, head over to the Star Behavioral Health Providers program page on our site.

Unfortunately, due to an issue beyond our control, registration for our upcoming Pacific Northwest Regional 1-Week Civilian training event in Portland is temporarily unavailable. If you’re interested in attending and would like to be notified via email when registration is once again available, please click here.

We’d like to remind people about our Registration for our Military and Veteran Behavioral Health Post-Master’s Certificate program. For this unique training opportunity, CDP has partnered with Widener University to teach best clinical practices to mental health providers. The program covers a wide variety of topics including military culture, the deployment cycle, challenges faced by military families, depression, suicide and many more. This program is designed for non-military mental health professionals with at least a master’s degree who are actively treating, or plan to treat, the military/veteran population. The program is held over three weekends at Widener University in Chester, PA. For more information or to register please visit the program page here.

This week’s Staff Perspective took a look at the online training efforts that the CDP is working on. It also included the first in a upcoming series of instructional videos about how to use Second Life. These videos will help introduce people to CDP’s virtual education center. We’ll be adding more soon, so keep checking back! Also, don’t forget to take a look at this week’s Research Update. It’s packed with journal articles, relevant news bits and useful links from all around the Web.

That’s it for this time around. Have a great weekend everyone and we’ll see you next week!
