CDP News: 23 March 2018

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. It's officially spring, even if it didn't feel much like it this week at CDP headquarters!

The snow didn't stop us on Tuesday from holding our CDP Presents webinar, “MTBI in Adults – Pathophysiology, Clinical Recover, and Intervention with ‘Complex’ Cases.” Next month's CDP is available for registration as well. "Sleep Disorder Care in the Military" will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. on 25 April. It will feature a panel of civilian and military sleep experts explaining the role and treatment services of different disciplines in the management of sleep disorders in the military, discussing the state of the research regarding behavioral treatments for insomnia such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy of Insomnia (CBTI) and Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (BBTI). 

Continuing the theme of sleep, our next two-day event will be the 12-13 April online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomniora via Second Life. Registration for the event is $45 and comes with 13.5 CE credits. All our currently scheduled events can be found on our upcoming training calendar. If you would like to be notified by email of upcoming online events, you can also sign up by completing the form here. We’re currently working on scheduling dates and topics for the remainder of 2018. So keep an eye on the training calendar for more great events coming up!

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, our trainers were Kentucky, Ohio and Oregon as part of the Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP) program. Next Wednesday and Thursday, we'll be in Terre Haute, IN for more SBHP events. SBHP is a tier-based continuing education program offering CEUs to clinical professionals through up-to-date workshops focused on the unique needs of the military community at no cost. SBHP is offered in select states to enhance behavioral health providers’ scope of knowledge and skills for treating military Service members, Veterans and their families with reintegration- and deployment-related concerns. For more information about the SBHP program or to find out if it is available in your state visit our SBHP section here.

This week’s Staff Perspective was entitled “Classical Conditioning and Other Excuses for Talking About My Dog” by Kelly Chrestman. As the title suggests, she discusses conditioning theories and how they relate to PTST, while also mentioning her dog too. Also, as always, don’t forget to check out this week's Research Update, with the latest news, journal articles, and useful links from around the Web.

We hope everyone enjoys the first weekend of spring! We'll see you back here on Monday for a new entry in our "By the Numbers" series.
