CDP News: Aug. 1, 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. We’re heading into August and while plenty of people are out on summer vacation, CDP training events continue!

After a brief hiatus due to a problem with the venue, registration for our upcoming Pacific Northwest Regional 1-Week Civilian training event in Portland is once again available! We apologize for the delay, but it shouldn’t change the great event we’ve got in store for all attendees. If you’re interested in more information or would like to sign up, please visit the event page here. If you can’t make it to Portland this September, there will be one more week-long training opportunity. Our Southeast Regional 1-Week Civilian training will be held 8-12 December in Miami, FL. More details for this event can be found here.

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.

Looking back at the CDP Blog this week, we had some great content. The Staff Perspective column by Laura Copland took a look at Socratic Dialogue/Questioning and how that concept is used in Cognitive Processing Therapy. It’s quite interesting and worth checking out. 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.

Finally, just a reminder that we’ve got several open position here at the CDP. These jobs range from the CDP headquarters in Maryland all the way to working out in Honolulu, Hawaii! So if you’re interested in joining the CDP team, head over to our Jobs section and take a look at the options.

That’s it for this week. We hope everyone is having an enjoyable summer and we’ll see you next week!
