CDP News: 30 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. March is just about over and we’re all ready for April and warmer weather!

On Wednesday and Thursday, our trainers are headed to Toledo, Ohio as part of the Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP) program. 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.

There’s one week left to sign up for the 12-13 April online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia via Second Life. Next week we’ll be opening registration for May’s two-day EBP, Prolonged Exposure Training via Second Life. Registration for each 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!

We recently posted a recording of our most recent CDP Presents webinar, “MTBI in Adults – Pathophysiology, Clinical Recover, and Intervention with ‘Complex’ Cases.” If you missed it, be sure to check it out. While you’re there, sign up for April’s webinar, "Sleep Disorder Care in the Military". It 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). 

While on the subject of sleep, this week’s Staff Perspective was entitled “The Best and Worst Things in Life Happen at Night” by CDP Deputy Director Dr. Bill Brim. In it he discusses his great-grandfather’s sleeping habits, while also previewing next month’s spotlight on sleep. All of April, our website will feature a variety of content focused on improving the sleep lives of Service members and Veterans. Visit the site throughout the month to see the additional content. 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.

Have a great weekend everyone and we’ll see you on Monday for a new “By the Numbers,” as well as the kickoff of the sleep spotlight!
