Supremely talented doctoral student Halle Fowler is hoping to put together an ABCT panel related to Deaf and Hard of Hearing suicide prevention or mental health. We have multiple qualitative and quantitative studies on DHH interpretation in mental health settings. We need help finding panelists!

This literally the only positive news on my feed right now.

This is not hyperbole! What a nightmare mess. On the plus side, the new simplified review criteria do not leave a lot of room to comment on the investigators, particularly if their background is "appropriate" to the project proposed. So maybe it will be a good exercise in less is more? 🤯

If you are submitting an NIH grant in February, you will be required to use SciENcv to prepare you biosketch. IT IS MUCH WORSE THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE. Set aside *at least* 4 hours just to transfer an existing an biosketch into SciENcv.

Reflecting the efforts of so many - most importantly our study participants who gave their time to help others - I'm thrilled to share the results of our RCT evaluating the effectiveness of the #SafetyPlanningIntervention for #SuicidePrevention in the year after jail release.

JAMA Network Open@jamanetworkopen.com · 9mo ago

RCT: Among people released from pretrial jail detention, those who received the Safety Planning Intervention with telephone follow-up experienced 42% fewer suicide events over 12 months compared with enhanced standard care. ja.ma/4oWA6vW

Suicide prevention requires systemic change. Governments worldwide must: - Decriminalise suicide - Implement national suicide prevention strategies - Fund accessible mental health care Policy saves lives. Let’s demand action. #WSPD2025

We tried something new this year as part of our orientation… Feeling grateful to Brown’s Swearer Center and to all the community partners who shared their work with us! 🙏 What a great introduction to Providence for our Brown psychology residents! 😊

🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost! Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%). "Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov. ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.

Started the process of moving offices, and woah…

Things are feeling especially hard & unpredictable right now, but one thing’s for certain - it’s the eve of our annual internship orientation. Taking a moment to enjoy that same “back to school” excitement that I get each year, when we welcome & launch our next cohort of psychology residents!

And these are just the tangible costs… “…having a loved one in prison or jail is estimated to cost families across the country nearly $350 billion each year — about four times the amount the federal government estimates it costs taxpayers annually to operate the nation's prisons and jails.”

Working in care transitions, I’ve often said we need policy solutions to improve continuity of care when a person is dc’ed from one system (eg, hospital) but gets stuck waiting for an appt in another (eg, CMHC). Enabling pharmacists to bridge an Rx during these long waits could be a game changer. 🙌

Bill would let pharmacists refill medications without prescriber

The R.I. House of Representatives has approved legislation aimed at ensuring patients can still access vital prescriptions when their prescriber is unavailable.
