CDP News: June 28, 2013

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to this week’s edition of CDP News, where we take a quick look at recent happenings and upcoming events at the Center for Deployment Psychology. It’s been a busy few days as we prepare for the upcoming holiday-shortened week. The CDP has recently expanded our social media presence. While you’ve previously been able to follow the CDP on our Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages, we’ve decided to go even further and embrace new avenues of reaching out to behavioral health providers via social media.

We’ve created a page on Google Plus and users of that service can add us to their circles here. We’ve also started up our own channel on YouTube, which you can visit here. Currently, we have three videos of Dr. Holly O’Reilly discussing the etiology of Post traumatic Stress Disorder. We’ll be adding more content in the future, including webinars, podcasts, and clips from our live training sessions. Let us know what else you’d like to see up there!

Speaking of expanding to new things, we also kicked off our new hosted consultation call focusing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. We’ve been hosting a weekly consultation call that focusses on either Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Those calls will continue and we will now have an additional opportunity for providers to consult with an expert on any questions they may have about CBT-I or its use in practice. These calls are open to any provider who has attended a training on evidence-based therapies (EBT) through the CDP. For more information about these calls or other consultation opportunities, please visit the Consultation Services page or log into the Provider Portal.

Looking back at this week’s blog entries, Dr. Paula Domenici discussed a very important and frequently overlooked group, the parents of Service Members and Veterans. They have many unique challenges to overcome while supporting their children and often allow their own self-care to suffer. It’s an important topic and well worth checking out. This week’s Research Update had many interesting and useful bits of news, journal articles, and links from around the web.

That’s all for this time around. Enjoy the weekend and we’ll see everyone back here on Monday for a new entry in By the Numbers!
