CDP News: July 12, 2013

It’s Friday and that means it’s time for this week’s CDP News.  Join us as we take a minute to look back at the past week, as well as looking ahead to upcoming events at the Center for Deployment Psychology. We’re enjoying the summer, but still keeping busy at our mission to provide high-quality instruction in evidence-based therapies to behavioral health providers. We’ve got a few training events coming up soon. The first up is the University Counseling Center Core Competency program, which will be heading to Irving, Texas, just outside of Dallas, to present at North Lake College on Tuesday, July 16th.

Then the following week, on July 24th, we’ll be visiting Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO for a two-day session on Prolonged Exposure Therapy as part of the UC4-Extended program. We’ve also recently added a few new campuses to our travel schedule, including a visit to the University of Nevada-Las Vegas on August 15. For more information about the UC4, the UC4-e or the upcoming programs schedule, please visit our UC4 section.

We’ll also soon be announcing the location and dates for the next iteration of our week-long “Addressing the Psychological Health of Warriors and Their Families” training. It’s a great program that provides an opportunity for those who work with Service Members and Veterans (or those that would like to start) to really expand their skills and knowledge base.

Even if you can’t attend any of the CDP’s in-person training events, there are still opportunities to learn more. We offer a list of self-paced, online instructional courses as well. These courses can be taken for free or for Continuing Education credits for a fee. Visit our Online Courses section to see the list of available options.

This week’s Staff Voices featured Dr. Laura Cho-Stutler talking to Commander Kay Beaulieu, Psy.D. about the Embedded Behavioral Health Teams. This innovative program is designed to improve access to care for Service Members and increase the operational readiness of their units by addressing any behavioral health issues as early as possible. This program provides an array of benefits to both Service Members and the Command. It’s an interesting program that’s well-worth reading about. As always, the CDP Research Update featured a variety of relevant news, journal articles, and links from around the Web.

Finally, be sure to keep an eye on our website. We’ve got some big changes coming soon. We think they’ll create an even better user experience and allow us to provide our visitors with even more information and resources. That’s it for now, we’ll see you next week!
