Happy Friday and welcome to the latest edition of CDP News where we take a quick look at all the newest happenings in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology. First up, last week we were out in Phoenix for our 2013 Southwest Regional 1-Week Civilian Training. It was a great time and we’d like to thank all our participants and presenters for making it such a success all around. While on the topic of our week-long trainings, next Friday is the last day to register for our 2013 South Regional 1-Week Civilian Training to be held in the Oklahoma City metro area April 8-12.

Staff Voices: A Look at Somnambulism/Sleepwalking

Somnambulism (ie, sleepwalking) is a disorder of arousal that falls under the Parasomnias group of disorders. Parasomnias are undesirable motor, verbal, or experiential events that occur typically during non-Rapid Eye-Movement (NREM) sleep.  The disorder is usually benign, self-limited and rarely requires treatment.

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.
