Hello and welcome to the end of another week, but before we head off into the long weekend it's time to recap the news of the past week and look ahead to the future in this week's CDP News. Our biggest event of the week is the launching of our 2013 South Regional 1-Week Training event. We're headed to the Oklahoma City metro area, specifically Norman, OK, from April 8 through 12. Seating is limited for this event, so if you're interested be sure and sign up quick. For more details or to register, please visit the event's page here. On the same subject, our Southwest Regional 1-week Training held in Phoenix, AZ from March 11 through 15 is still open for registration as well.

For providers steeped in the use of evidence-based psychotherapies, it is important to keep in mind the relief from suicidal ideation that can be achieved through the use of combination therapy (psychotherapy plus pharmacotherapy).  For patients experiencing suicidal ideation with intent, it is especially critical to alert patients to the option of psychiatric medications, and to support their decision to pursue pharmacotherapy in conjunction with psychotherapy.
