CDP News: 1 November 2019

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 hope everyone had a happy Halloween and is ready for November!

This week, on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, we presented out latest online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D) training. It was a great group of participants as we'd like to thank everyone for coming. We also open up registration for our first online EBP in 2020, which will be the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention on 14-15 January 2020. Sign-ups for the February online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) should open up in mid-November. Our online events have been filling up quickly, so if you're interested in attending, we suggest signing up as soon as registration begins. We will be addding even more 2020 events to the training calendar on our site in the next few weeks. Make sure you're following the CDP on our Facebook/Twitter feeds. You can also keep up with the newest CDP events by signing up for our monthly email digest by completing this form.

Next Wednesday, we will hold our montly CDP Presents webinar entitled, "PTSD, Resilience and Post-traumatic Growth in Traumatized Military Service Members and Veterans" from noon to 1:30 p.m. Eastern. In this free webinar, participants will learn more about responses to traumatic stress with a focus on post-traumatic stress disorder, resilience and post-traumatic growth. Sign-ups are also ongoing for the 12 December session "Introducing Veterans and Service Members to Mindfulness." As with most of our CDP Presents webinars, those who attend and complete a post-training evaulation and knowledge check will be eligible for 1.5 CEs.

The application period for the 2020 iteration of the CDP Summer Institute: Preparing for a Psychology Career in the Military will begin on 18 November. This five-day course for doctoral students is aimed at those who anticipate or are seriously considering applying for a military internship. It will run from 15-19 June 2020. The application period will open on 18 November. For more information, please visit the CDPSI section of our website here. We look forward to another great crop of applicants this time around!

Most people immediately think of alcohol when discussing substance use in the military. However, Dr. Kim Copeland take a look at two of the more prevalent substances, tobacco and caffiene, in her Staff Perspective blog entry "Chasing the Energy Dragon - Tobacco and Caffiene Use in the Military." The first of a two-part series focuses on the historical use and current trends of tobacco use. Also, don't forget to check out this week's Research Update. As always, it's packed with the latest news, journal articles and useful links from around the Web.

That's all for this week. Thanks for joining us again and be sure to come back on Monday for a brand-new "By the Numbers." Have a great weekend everyone!
