The Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) offers a variety of training opportunities, such as our two-day EBP training workshops, annual EBP conference, Star Behavioral Health Providers program, DoD Child Collaboration Study webinars, monthly CDP Presents webinar series, and our podcast series Practical for your Practice.

Previous requests have included presentations at national and state professional conferences, as well as conferences sponsored by both military and civilian behavioral healthcare organizations.
