CDP News: 5 Sept. 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. It was a short week due to the Labor Day holiday, but we’ve still got plenty going on around here to talk about.
The biggest news this week involves our 1-Week training events. First up, today is the final day to register for our upcoming Pacific Northwest Regional 1-Week Civilian training event in the Portland metro area. It’s shaping up to be a great event, so if you’ve been thinking about attending, today’s the day to sign up! Please visit the event page here. However, if you can’t make it to that event, registration for our final 1-week training of the year is also now open. Our Southeast Regional 1-Week Civilian training will be held 8-12 December in Miami, FL. Head over to the event page here for more information or to sign up.
For those interested in events a little closer to home, we’ve got currently got two live, online training events on the calendar. There’s a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia Training in Second Life on 24-25 September, then we’ve got a Prolonged Exposure Therapy Training via Adobe Connect on 28-29 October. It’s a great way to take part in the high-quality training provided by CDP from the comfort and convenience of your own home. These training events always reach capacity and spots are filling fast. If you’re interested in attending either of these events, we suggest signing up soon!
We’d like to remind people about our Registration for 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 took a look at an article on some new research that suggests sleep may have a large impact on the effectiveness of exposure therapies when treating PTSD. These are both important aspects in much of the training we do, so it was quite interesting for us to hear about. 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 you on Monday for a new entry in our By the Numbers column!
