CDP News: Dec. 5, 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. December is upon us and the holidays are well on their way. We’ve still got plenty to do before the end of the year gets there though!
On Monday our Southeast Regional Civilian 1-Week Training kicks off down in Miami, FL. The event will be running all week. These 1-week training events are an excellent opportunity for providers of all experience levels to enhance their skills. If you weren’t able to make for this event, don’t worry. We’ve got our next week-long training coming up in Phoenix, 16-20 March. Keep an eye on our Upcoming Training section or the CDP Facebook page, where we’ll be adding more details about this event soon!
Our Miami event isn’t the only thing we’ve got next week either! We’ll also be hosting the latest iteration of our five-day Topics in Military and Deployment Psychology course.This military-oriented event brings uniformed behavioral health providers from all branches of the services to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD. There they receive training from CDP staff and guest presenters on a variety of deployment spectrum issues facing Service members, Veterans and their families. Running two simultaneous week-long training event is certain to keep our staff hopping, but it’s well-worth the effort!
In addition to our in-person training events, we currently have a Prolonged Exposure Therapy training delivered via Adobe Connect coming up on 18-19 December. There are only a few seats left in this online event so if you’re interested in taking part, be sure and sign up soon. Registration is $27 and comes with 13.5 CEUs.
The CDP has created a new program for those interested in a career in military behavioral health, the CDP Summer Institute: Preparing for a Military-Focused Career. We’re partnering with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) with this program which is designed to raise awareness of military behavioral health careers and to increase students’ competitiveness for military-focused internships. This six-day training course, held from 8-13 June 2015, will bring participants to D.C. to receive training in a variety of topics. The CDP will assist with costs of travel, room and board. For most attendees, this financial assistance will be sufficient to cover all costs. We also encourage students local to the D.C. area to apply and attend the program. For more information, please visit the program’s page here.
In the CDP’s blog, this week’s Staff Perspective column is by Dr. Bill Brim. In it, Dr. Brim dips into the CDP consultation email box to answer some questions nocturnal hyperdrosis or “night sweats”. He discusses some of the potentials causes and treatments of this common problem. After a week off due to Thanksgiving, there’s a new Research Update this week. As always it’s packed with the latest news, articles and useful links and well-worth checking out.
That’s it for this time around. We hope everyone stays warm this weekend! We’ll see you back here next week for a new edition of the By the Numbers column.
