CDP News: Aug. 21, 2015
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. Next week has some big events, so let’s get to it.
First up, all next week we’ll be down in Atlanta, GA at Emory University for our latest Regional 1-Week Civilian Training event. This five-day training will cover a variety of deployment-related and military-specific topics including, military culture, the deployment cycle, sleep disorders, depression and suicide, military families, ethics, as well as training in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy. We’re working on our finalizing the detail for our next event, which will be held in the Albany, NY-metro area 26-30 October. Registration for this event should begin in the next few weeks. If you’d like to be emailed when registration for this and other upcoming Regional 1-Week Civilian Training opportunities, please complete the form here.
Speaking of upcoming events, registration is ongoing for the 2016 Military and Veteran Behavioral Health Certificate Program at Widener University in Exton, PA. This certificate program runs over the course of three weekends, beginning in March 2016. It is designed to aid providers in gaining knowledge and skills to address the emotional struggles and psychological health needs of Service members, Veterans, and their families. For more information or to register for this program, please click here.
Next Thursday from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. (EDT), we’ll be holding our monthly CDP Presents webinar, which will focus on military culture. The webinar will be led by CDP’s Deputy Director, Dr. Bill Brim, and Dr. Patricia Watson from the National Center for PTSD. Then on 3 September, we will present a webinar on military suicide prevention by Dr. Sharon Birman. We invite anyone who is interested to sign up and attend these informative presentations. Attendees will also be eligible for one free CE credit.
Another option for free CEUs is to check out the four-module Military Culture: Core Competencies for Healthcare Professionals. This self-paced online course is designed to help providers gain an understanding of the importance of and breadth of military culture. Each module in the course is eligible for two CEU credits upon completion of the final exam, for a total of eight possible credits.
Finally, over in the CDP Blog, this week’s Staff Perspective entry was by Dr. Paula Domenici and is called “Summer Vacation: The Benefits of ‘Exposure’”. Dr. Domenici looks at how elements of PE can be worked into everyday life, even on vacation. She writes about how her recent trip to Greece allowed her to jump into new situations and unfamiliar places which provided a experiential windfall. Also, don’t forget to take a few minutes to read this week’s Research Update on the CDP’s Blog. It’s got all the latest news, articles and plenty of useful links related to deployment psychology.
That’s it for this time around. Have a great weekend and enjoy summer while it lasts! See you next week.
