CDP News: Dec. 11, 2015
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. This was another full week and we’ll have a couple more as we approach the end of the year. Let’s see what’s on the slate.
All week we were at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) campus in Bethesda, MD for the Topics in Military and Deployment Psychology course. This week-long program brings uniformed providers from all branches of the service together to train them on a variety of issues facing Service members, Veterans, and their families. As usual, it was lot of work to coordinate, but it was also well worth the effort. We’d like to thank all of our participants and presenters for another successful session.
This week we also held our monthly CDP Presents webinar, entitled “Understanding Depression in Service Members and Veterans: An Overview.” This presentation was led by CDP staff members, Dr. Kimberly Copeland and Dr. Marjorie Weinstock. We’ll be posting a recording of the webinar for those who were unable to attend. Next month’s will be held on 13 January from noon to 1:30 p.m. EST. Laura Copland will present “The Acquisition and Role of Resilience for the Warrior.” We’ll be opening up registration for this event soon. For more information or to check out the previous entries in our “CDP Presents” series, head over to the program’s page here.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday, we’ll be headed to Indiana as part of our Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP) program. On Wednesday and Thursday, we’ll also be in Michigan for SBHP. For more information on this program or to find out how to participate, click here.
The CDP’s recent University Counseling Center Core Competency (UC4) training at Albany State, in Georgia, received some nice attention from the local television news. The station, WALB, did a short segment on the UC4 training event we held on 3 December. You can watch the clip here. We always appreciate getting this sort of publicity for such a great program.
Also on the online schedule, registration is still open for the last few spot in our online two-day Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) training on 14-15 January. Registration for this event is $30 and comes with 13.5 CEs. This event is almost at capacity, so if you’re interested in attending, we suggest you sign up today. Registration is also open for a two-day training on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D) via Second Life on 10-11 February. For more information on this course or to sign up, please click here.
In the CDP Blog this week, Dr. Laura Cho-Stutler talked her about experience working with behavioral health providers from Nepal in the wake of the April 2015 earthquake. Her blog, entitled “Nepal Will Rise Again,” really illustrates the wide-spread need for such services, as well as the changing attitudes about them, It’s a very interesting read and worth a few minutes of your time. Also, don’t forget to check out this week’s Research Update! As usual, it’s got all the latest news, articles, and useful links related to deployment psychology.
That’s all for this time around. Have a great weekend everyone and come back next week for a new “By the Numbers” column.
