CDP Presents: The Power of Prevention - A Public Health Model for the Prevention of Harmful Behaviors via Zoom

28 May 2026, Noon to 1:30 p.m. Eastern

Description: This presentation provides an evidence-informed overview of the prevention of harmful behaviors within military populations, with an emphasis on practical application in clinical and operational settings. Participants will examine key individual, relational, and systemic risk and protective factors associated with behaviors such as suicide, interpersonal violence, substance misuse, and maladaptive coping. The training will integrate military cultural considerations, trauma-informed approaches, and early identification strategies to enhance assessment and intervention skills. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to support prevention efforts, improve risk recognition, and strengthen ethical, culturally responsive practice when working with service members, veterans, and military-connected families.

Please note: While registration is slated to end once the webinar begins on 28 May 2026, space in this event is limited and registration will close once capacity has been reached, even if this is before the final registration date. 

Target Audience: For behavioral health/healthcare providers who treat military personnel, veterans, and their families.
