Indiana's Behavioral Health Provider Evidence-Based Training Opportunity

Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP) is an initiative designed through a collaboration with the Indiana National Guard (INNG, the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) at Purdue University, and the National Guard Bureau's Psychological Health Program (PHP), and the Indiana Family and Social Services Association (FSSA). The SBHP mission is to create an opportunity for Indiana's behavioral health providers to receive specific evidence-based training that will help them meet the needs of the state's service members and their families. Providers receiving the training will then be listed on a comprehensive registry that will identify them as having completed this training in military issues, and serve as a valuable resource for service members, families, and referring professionals in and outside the military.

The training is free to participants, and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) may be earned at no cost, as well.

For complete details visit the website: www.starproviders.org.

The training is divided into three tiers with each tier building on information from previous tiers. Tier One training which includes both online and one daylong classroom sessions will be hosted at Ball State University on Wednesday, June 27th. We are glad that we can provide the following training as a way to achieve this increased level of awareness. If you are interested in attending this training, please pre-register by clicking one of the links list below. As a way to increase the value of the training, attendees are asked to complete an online tutorial which takes approximately one hour prior to attending.

Registration for all of the trainings can be found: http://starproviders.org/providers/training_dates.php.

If you would like to go directly to the website for the training being held at Ball State University, follow this link: http://starproviders.org/providers/training_date.php?training_id=18.

You are welcome to register for Tiers Two and Three at the same time but completion of the tiers in order is required! Also, attending Tier Three requires joining the registry as a provider - see the website for more details!

I hope you will take advantage of this important opportunity. It's an excellent chance to increase your knowledge, obtain CEUs and gain an increased ability to serve those who have served our country.

Thank you.
