The Impact of Stress and Trauma Related to Military Deployment
Welcome to the Center for Deployment Psychology.
The Center for Deployment Psychology was developed to promote the education of psychologists and other behavioral health specialists about issues pertaining to the deployment of military personnel.
As the duration and frequency of military deployments increase, service members and their families are faced with increasing behavioral health difficulties associated with or exacerbated by deployment. The Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP), an innovative Department of Defense training consortium, has been established to better meet the deployment-related mental and behavioral health needs of military personnel and their families. The CDP is a tri-service center funded by Congress to train military and civilian psychologists, psychology interns/residents, and other behavioral health professionals to provide high quality deployment-related behavioral healthservices to military personnel and their families.
