Deployment Psychology Blog

As the 15^th anniversary of 9/11 drew near, I found myself thinking a lot about how the world has changed in those years and how those changes have impacted my personal life and my work.  Last month, I drove through New York City to visit my hometown.  Seeing the skyline always elicits in me a strange combination of grief for lives lost and pride in New Yorkers’ resilience.    But on this drive I found myself thinking “What’s next?” and “Maybe it’s not safe to be in NYC.”  Perhaps this was because the anniversary of 9/11 was right around the corner, but I also think it had a lot to do with the seeming increase in local and global violence.

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. As we get closer to the official end of summer our event calendar is getting busier and busier.
