CDP News: Jan 23, 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. This was a busy week and we’ve got plenty more coming up to talk about as well!

First up, registration for the next Regional Civilian 1-Week Training is now live! For our first event of 2015, we’ll be heading to the southwest as we visit Phoenix, AZ from 16-20 March. This week-long training includes a choice in tracks, one on PTSD treatment, while the other focuses on health psychology. For more information about the two tracks, you can click here to see the agenda. Registration cost $95 and there are more than 30 CEUs available during the program. Space is limited for this event, so if you’re interested in attending, we encourage you to sign up today.

Registration for the next Prolonged Exposure Therapy training via Second Life is also open. This event will take place 5-6 February. One thing to note is the special time. It will run from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. EST. It’s perfect for those on the west coast, who may have been unable to attend our other training events. Registration for this two-day training is $27 and comes with 13.5 CEUs. Space will be limited for this event.

Our UC4 program was also busy this week. We visited both the University of Montana in Bozeman and the University of Texas in Tyler to present a two-day workshops on Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE) as part of our UC4-Extended program. Next week the Star Behavioral Health Providers program will send us literally coast-to-coast, as we’ll have presenters in Franklin, IN, Columbia, SC and California. We’ll also be presenting a two-day training at MacDill AFB in Florida and a CPT training a little closer to home in Rockville, Maryland. For more information about these programs, look under the “Training” header on the menu above.

This week’s Staff Perspective column was written by Dr. Marjorie Weinstock. In it she looks at mobile apps designed to help military families. There are many great ones out there and Dr. Weinstock spotlights a handful of her favorite and most useful ones. These apps can be a great resource for military families, with tons of useful information in one spot. Speaking of which, 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 stays warm this weekend and joins us right back here next week for a new entry in our “By the Numbers” column.
