Announcing DCoE's 2011 Monthly Webinar Series

 
The Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic
 Brain Injury (DCoE) recently completed its first year of monthly webinars
 (http://www.dcoe.health.mil/Events/MonthlyWebinars.aspx), a promotional and
 informational series that offers resources, speaker presentations, best
 practices from government and non-government organizations, and the
 opportunity to dialogue with experts in areas of psychological health and
 traumatic brain injury.
 
Since our first webinar in November 2009 about chaplains and chaplain
 assistants, the listserv has increased by more than 1,240 percent; actual
 attendance has increased by more than 400 percent; RSVP rates have increased
 by more than 750 percent. These numbers clearly show an interest in national
 and international discussions on various topics surrounding psychological
 health and traumatic brain injury, such as reintegration, mobile technology,
 support for caregivers and suicide prevention.
 
We are pleased to announce the 2011 DCoE Webinar schedule
 (http://bit.ly/hJdrJ7). The 2011 topics range from technical and
 research-focused subjects like indirect neurotrauma and neuropathophysiology
 of mild traumatic brain injury to personal and emotional subjects like
 compassion fatigue and holidays away from families. The webinar topics are
 as varied as the issues and topics that DCoE focuses on in support of
 servicemembers, veterans and their families.
