As a gay researcher and #suicideprevention professional, this work is deeply personal to me. This #PrideMonth, I’m reflecting on some of the LGBTQ+ suicide-related research my colleagues and I have done. A few findings from our articles that continue to stick with me: 🧵1/
A great few days with @afspnational and Bechtel colleagues in Louisiana and Texas visiting construction sites and talking with craftworkers and leaders. Inspiring to meet people who care about their coworkers and make mental health a priority. Learn more!

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. My day started with a great choir rehearsal, then a walk to catch the fall colors at one of my favorite parks, and a pumpkin cheesecake from Trader Joe’s. Whatever it is, I hope you do something today that brings you joy!

Junior scholars: "I feel awkward citing myself"
Senior scholars: "as I cleverly argued (1988; 1991), admirably reiterated (1993; 1995; 1996); and handsomely concluded (2001; 2004; 2007)..."
Suicide prevention can happen in the everyday moments of connection, care, and support we offer each other.

So proud that this program has gotten this recognition. Working with the advisory committee to lead the evaluation of L.E.T.S. Save Lives has been a career highlight. A powerful example of community-driven, culturally responsive suicide prevention.

Excellent grad school advice from @CorbinStandley. I went in with the policy of “say yes to every opportunity” and “always do better than everyone else.” It worked, but in retrospect, it was completely unnecessary.
I love seeing the first day of #gradschool pics! No one asked, and I don’t have all the answers, but for those starting this journey, here’s some advice and things I wish I’d known sooner: 🧵

Saying goodbye to July. It was great to be back in Utah with family and friends. I enjoyed spending a few days with my mom exploring Snow Canyon and Kolob Canyon. It had been more than a decade since I’d been to southern Utah. What a beautiful state!

Today is the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal moment for LGBTQ+ rights. It reminds us that progress happens when people choose to push for a more just world. I’m grateful for the activists whose courage created opportunities for people they would never meet #Pride
