SUMMARY:Timely and Adaptive Strategies to Optimize Suicide Prevention Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: September 19\, 2024\, 1:00–3:00 p.m. ET\nLocation: Virtual \nLearn more and register online \nTherapeutic interventions are now being applied in ways that may enhance timely and tailored strategies to address suicide risk. This approach requires ready access to end-user data that informs proactive intervention strategies. This webinar from the National Institute of Mental Health will consider 1) which data sources are best equipped to inform intervention strategies\, 2) which intervention aspects should involve tailoring strategies vs. simpler approaches that may be just as effective\, and 3) how such approaches can be incorporated into providers’ workflows within a health care setting. \nThis webinar brings together experts in areas that include passive and active data collection methods\, the measurement of social contexts related to suicide risk\, and the methodological aspects of Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAI). The goal is to provide insights into developing and testing JITAIs for suicide prevention and to offer guidance on incorporating these adaptive interventions into healthcare systems.

SUMMARY:What Happens to Veterans Who Leave the Military Under Other Than Honorable Conditions?
DESCRIPTION:The way a veteran’s service is characterized through the formal military discharge process can significantly impact their life. Most are discharged as “honorable\,” which entitles them to veterans benefits and services due to their satisfactory service to the country. \nYet in the past two decades\, those leaving service with an “other than honorable” (OTH) designation is rising. These veterans have limited to no access to veterans benefits in the years following their service. Many who receive OTH issuances are from minority groups. Some sustain service-related injuries and are prone to mental health challenges and substance use problems. They are also at increased risk of homelessness and suicide. \nA panel of experts will discuss what we know about veterans who leave military service under OTH conditions and offer recommendations to improve the process of discharge characterization. They will discuss what this type of discharge means for veterans and their families\, why and in what context veterans leave the military with an OTH discharge\, and considerations for policy changes that would expand benefits for certain veterans in this group. \nThis webinar is part of a series of events organized by the RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute to explore pressing policy challenges affecting veterans\, their families\, and their communities. \nRegister Online \n\n\n\nDate:\nSeptember 26\, 2024\n\n\nTime:\n4–5 p.m. ET\n1–2 p.m. PT

SUMMARY:Moral Injury in Service Members
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) is offering a three and a half-hour workshop on Moral Injury in Service Members. The workshop will be held online via Zoom\, 17 October 2024\, 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Eastern. Space in this event is limited and registration will close when capacity is reached\, even if this is before the final registration deadline. \nRegistration for the course is $25. \nMoral injury may develop from exposure to events (acts of commission or omission) that transgress an individual’s deeply held values and beliefs\, leading to negative psychological\, spiritual\, and social consequences. Morally injurious events can erode core beliefs about what is right and wrong in oneself or others—about goodness\, trustworthiness\, and benevolence. While it is an ancient concept that battlefield transgressions may inflict emotional harm on the warfighter\, there has been growing interest in moral injury in the mental health field and other circles. Some experts suggest that the extended operations in Iraq and Afghanistan may have increased service members’ risk for developing moral injury\, given the ambiguous nature of the operations\, including unconventional guerrilla warfare and changing rules of engagement. More recently\, researchers have reported on moral injury experienced by first responders and health care providers from COVID-19-related moral and ethical stressors. \nThis training will explore where morality comes from\, define moral injury and describe how it develops\, identify incidents that may contribute to it\, and examine various assessment and treatment methods. The focus will be on moral injury in the military population\, while recognizing that it also occurs in the civilian population. The presenter will encourage participants to consider challenges they face in identifying and treating moral injury\, including how to create a nonjudgmental\, safe space for clients to talk about it\, and how to distinguish moral injury from common co-occurring problems such as PTSD. Military cases will be introduced to demonstrate approaches for assessing and addressing moral injury. This training is aimed at behavioral health providers and trainees working with service members and veterans as well as clinicians interested in trauma (Litz et al.\, 2022; Richardson et al.\, 2020; Rozek & Bryan\, 2021). \nLearning objectives: \n\nDistinguish moral injury from morally injurious events and common co-occurring problems\nUse appropriate assessment tools and measures to evaluate clients for moral injury\nApply effective strategies for the treatment of moral injury
