If you’ve participated in any of the Center for Deployment Psychology’s training courses and expanded your range of professional expertise, you may want to think about adding this accomplishment to your profile on LinkedIn. It’s really quite easy to do.
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. We’ve just about made it to the unofficial end of summer, but we’ve still got lots of great events coming up! Let’s get to it.
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:
● PTSD Monthly Update: Sleep Problems Following Trauma
● Behavioral Health and Service Use Among Civilian Wives of Service Members and Veterans: Evidence from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health (RAND)
Regardless of the topic on which I am presenting, if I have a bit of time at the end, I always speak briefly about the concept of moral injury. It’s heartening to see that clinicians are becoming familiar with this important issue and that it resonates deeply on a professional and personal level. For those to whom this is a “new” idea, it’s amazing to see that “ah-ha” moment as they consider past and current patients, family members and, yes, even themselves in light of this concept.
