CDP News: Mar. 20, 2015

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. We spent this entire week running two separate training events, on opposite sides of the country.

We were in Phoenix, AZ for our Pacific Southwest Regional 1-Week Civilian Training. This five-day event brought together civilian behavioral health providers from across the country to learn about deployment-spectrum issues facing the military population. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, we’ve already scheduled our next Regional 1-Week Civilian Training in Minneapolis, MN on the 15-19 of June. You can sign up to be notified when registration for this event begins here.

In addition to our civilian training, we also held the latest iteration of our Topics in Military and Deployment Psychology course. This training is focused on uniformed behavioral health providers from all branches of military service. We spend the week providing in-depth training on military- and deployment-related issues facing Service members, their family members, and military behavioral health providers themselves.

If you’re interested in some online training events, we’re happy to announce that registration for the next Cognitive Processing Therapy training via Second Life is now open. This event will take place 2-3 April, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST. Registration for this two-day training is $30 and comes with 13.5 CEUs. Space will be limited for this event. CPT training has been one of our most requested topics recently and we expect this event to reach capacity very quickly. If you’re interested in attending, we suggest signing up today!

We also suggest checking out the four-module Military Culture: Core Competencies for Healthcare Professionals. This free, self-paced online course is designed to help providers gain an understanding of the importance of and breadth of military culture. Each of the four modules in the course is eligible for two CEU credits upon completion of the final exam.

Finally, don’t forget to take a look at this week’s new Research Update. As always it’s packed with the latest news, articles and useful links and well-worth checking out.

That’s all we’ve got for this time around.  We hope everyone has a great weekend. We’ll see you next week for a new entry in our By the Numbers column.
