CDP News: Jan. 31, 2014

Happy Friday and welcome to this week’s CDP News column! We like to take a few minutes each week to review recent happenings in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology, while also looking ahead to upcoming events. After being slowed down by the holidays and the recent weather, we’re happy to be back up to full speed on the training front. On Wednesday, we brought our UC4 program to the University of Texas – Tyler. Then on Wednesday and Thursday, our Speakers Bureau was out in Seattle, WA delivering a two-day training on Prolonged Exposure Therapy.

Next week is shaping up to be quite busy as well. We’ve got the latest iteration of our Topics in Deployment Psychology course kicking off on Monday and running through 12 February. We’ll also be headed to California to run a training for the Star Behavioral Health Providers program. We’ve got plenty more on the schedule coming up as well, which is just how we like it! Keep an eye on our training calendar for all the latest additions and registration opportunities.

Speaking of which, registration for our next week-long civilian-orientated training Addressing the Psychological Health of Warriors and Their Families, is scheduled to open on Monday, 3 Feb. This event will be in Washington, D.C. from 14-18 April. Space will be limited, so if you’re interested in attending, we suggest you sign up quick once registration opens!

If you’re not able to attend any of our training sessions in person, we’ve also begun offering a limited number of events online. We two events currently scheduled and are planning on adding more in the future. We’ll be posting additional information about these events as we get closer.

This week’s Staff Perspective entry was by Lisa French, Ph.D., and Rabia Mir, M.P.H. In it they took a look at the importance of consultation and some of the misconceptions that may prevent providers from taking part in the vital resource. It’s well-worth checking out for any behavioral health provider. Also, don’t forget to spend some time reading the latest Research Update. It’s got plenty of great journal articles, relevant news, and useful links from all over the Web.

That’s all for this installment Have a good weekend and we’ll see you next time around!
