Once again it’s Friday and time for our weekly wrap-up of events in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology, CDP News.  First up, today marks the end of our 2013 Southwest Regional 1-Week training in Phoenix. From all reports, it’s been a great week for both presenters and participants. I know our presenters enjoy the opportunity to get out and work directly with behavioral health providers in the community.Hopefully, all of the participants learned a lot of great information that they can use in their efforts to treat Service Members and Veterans as well.

The number of "men and women who are caring or have previously cared for wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans," according to a new study by the RAND Corporation, Military Caregivers: Cornerstones of Support for Our Nation's Wounded, Ill, and Injured Veterans.
