CDP News: 22 August 2014
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. As always, there's plenty to talk about in all of the various programs that CDP is involved with.
Our University Counseling Center Core Competency (UC4) program, was down in Fredericksburg, VA to present at the University of Mary Washington on Tuesday. We were in Georgia for the Star Behavioral Health Providers program to deliver a Tier Two training on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information about which states offer the SBHP program and the various training tiers, please click here.
We’re down to the last two weeks to register for our upcoming Pacific Northwest Regional 1-Week Civilian training event in the Portland metro area. Registration will be closing on September 5. So, if you’re interested in attending, sign up today! For registration details and more information, please visit the event page here. Also, registration for our final 1 week training of the year will be opening in the next few weeks. Our Southeast Regional 1-Week Civilian training will be held 8-12 December in Miami, FL. Keep an eye on our training calendar or Facebook page for the latest details for this event.
Next Thursday and Friday, we’ll be hosting an online Prolonged Exposure Therapy training via Second Life. These events have proven very popular and registration has filled up quickly. We’ve recently added two more online training events to our calendar. On 24-25 September, we’ll be hosting a workshop on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) via Second Life. Then on 28-29 October, we’ll be presenting a training on Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) via Adobe Connect. Both programs will be offering CEUs and have a registration fee of $27.
We’d like to remind people about our Military and Veteran Behavioral Health Post-Master’s Certificate program. For this unique training opportunity, CDP has partnered with Widener University to teach best clinical practices to mental health providers. The program covers a wide variety of topics including military culture, the deployment cycle, challenges faced by military families, depression, suicide and many more. This program is designed for non-military mental health professionals with at least a master’s degree who are actively treating, or plan to treat, the military/veteran population. The program is held over three weekends at Widener University in Chester, PA. For more information or to register, please visit the program page here.
In the CDP Blog this week, the Staff Perspective column was by Dr. Regina Shillinglaw. She had a conversation with Lt. Col. Kirk Rowe about the challenges presented by technology in modern day life, including its effects on relationships and behavioral health. It’s an important topic and they discuss a number of interesting points. Also, don’t forget to read this week’s Research Update. It’s packed with the latest in news, journal articles and useful links from all around the Web.
That’s it for this week. Have a great weekend and we’ll see everyone on Monday for a new entry in our By the Numbers column!
