CDP News: Jan. 8, 2016
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 still getting up to speed after the holiday break, but there’s lots on the horizon to discuss. Let’s take a look!
On Wednesday, we will be hosting our monthly CDP Presents webinar. The topic will be “The Acquisition and Role of Resilience for the Warrior.” This webinar will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. and will be led by Laura Copland. All participants who attend and complete a post-event evaluation and survey will be eligible for one free CE. See the event page for more specific CE information. Our previous iterations of CDP Presents are also available for on-demand viewing here.
That’s not the only online event we’ve got slated for next week. On Thursday and Friday we will be presenting a Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) training in Second Life. Unfortunately, we don’t have any more room for participants in this one. However, we still have a few spots remaining for next month’s Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D) event in Second Life. It will be held from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on 10-11 February. Seats are limited and this event will likely fill up soon. If you’re interested in attending, we suggest you register today!
If you’re interested in face-to-face training, registration for our next Region Civilian 1-Week Training, to be held 21-25 March, in Long Beach, CA, is scheduled to open next week. This five-day event will cover a variety of behavioral health concerns facing Service members, Veterans, and their families. For more information on this program or to sign up to be notified when registration begins, please click here.
In the CDP Blog this week, Dr. Andy Santanello discusses a common misconception about using evidence-based therapies, the concern of symptom exacerbation. Many therapist worry that making their clients confront their worst fears may actually make things worse for them. Dr. Santanello talks about his experiences as well as some research to show that this concern, although common, is largely unfounded. Also, don’t forget to check out the first Research Update of the new year! It’s a new year, but, as usual, it’s got all the latest news, articles, and useful links related to deployment psychology.
That’s all for this time around. We hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and that the new year is off to a great start. We’ll see you next week for a new entry in the By the Numbers series.
