CDP News: Dec. 12, 2014
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 had multiple events going on this weeks all over the country and we’ve got even more coming up in the next few weeks!
Our first big event this week was our Southeast Regional Civilian 1-Week Training. This week-long training was held down in Miami, FL. Thanks to all of our participants and presenters, it was a very successful event all around. If you weren’t able to make for this event, don’t worry. We’ve got another regional civilian training event coming up. We’ll be heading to the southwest next time as we visit Phoenix from 16-20 March. Keep an eye on our Upcoming Training section or the Regional Civilian 1-Week Training page, where we’ll be adding more details about this event soon!
One week-long training wasn’t enough, so we also ran our five-day Topics in Military and Deployment Psychology course. The military-oriented event brought uniformed behavioral health providers from all branches of the services to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD. Two simultaneous week-long training events definitely kept the CDP staff busy this week, but they pulled off both events with flying colors. Now it’s time to start planning for the next iteration!
Today is the final day to register for our upcoming Prolonged Exposure Therapy training delivered via Adobe Connect coming up on 18-19 December. There are only a few seats left in this online event so if you’re interested in taking part, be sure and sign up before the close of business on Friday, 12 December. Registration is $27 and comes with 13.5 CEUs.
The CDP has created a new program for those interested in a career in military behavioral health, the CDP Summer Institute: Preparing for a Military-Focused Career. We’re partnering with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) with this program which is designed to raise awareness of military behavioral health careers and to increase students’ competitiveness for military-focused internships. This six-day training course, held from 8-13 June 2015, will bring participants to D.C. to receive training in a variety of topics. The CDP will assist with costs of travel, room and board. For most attendees, this financial assistance will be sufficient to cover all costs. We also encourage students local to the D.C. area to apply and attend the program. For more information, please visit the program’s page here.
In the CDP’s blog, this week’s Staff Perspective column is by Dr. Paula Domenici. She examines the topic of women in combat. In addition to the obvious issues raised by this change, Dr. Domenici looks at some of the new questions and concerns this raises for providers working with female Service members. Also, don’t forget to take a look at this week’s new Research Update. As always it’s packed with the latest news, articles and useful links and well-worth checking out.
That’s it for this time around. Enjoy the weekend! We’ll see you back here next week for a new edition of the By the Numbers column.
