The University Counseling Center at Southern University-Baton Rouge, and the Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) from Bethesda, MD, will co-sponsor a free, one-day training workshop for clinicians working with service members and veterans on college campuses. The training will be held May 27, 2014.
According to their website, the CDP helps prepare health care professionals to better meet the deployment-related emotional and psychological needs of military personnel and their families. “More than two million service members have deployed during the conflicts overseas, including many who have deployed multiple times. With these increased deployments, service members and their families undergo increased stress and psychological health challenges.”
To meet its mission, CDP trains health care professionals through presentations, online learning, consultations and education.
For more information about the upcoming training, contact Dr. ValaRay Irving, Director of the University Counseling Center at Southern University–Baton Rouge.
