As we enter the final week of March, we here at the Center for Deployment Psychology wanted to take a moment to remind everyone again that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. This is particularly relevant, as Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) has been labeled the “signature injury” of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This has driven the identification and treatment of mTBIs to the forefront of concerns in military healthcare.

Happy Friday and 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.
The CDP's weekly research update contains the latest news, journal articles and useful links from around the web. Some of this week's topics include:
● Health & Social Work Special Issue: Service Members, Veterans and Their Families
● Military Parent Custody and Visitation (National Conference of State Legislatures)
● Suicide and Military Families: A Report on the Feasibility of Tracking Deaths by Suicide among Military Family Members
I’ve recently received several questions about the provider community area on the CDP’s website. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to explore that topic a bit.
