I’m looking for resources/guidance for someone with progressive psychosis symptoms, as well as their family. Any leads out there?

Seems like psychology needs more of this. Go Jess.
Amidst all the badness, still super excited to present a ticketed workshop with @clearlab.bsky.social and Jackie Ross on the menstrual cycle at #ABCT2025 @abctnow.bsky.social this fall in New Orleans!
(Decisions on talks/posters still to come.)

NIH has released new terms and conditions for any newly awarded grants where recipients have to certify that they do not have any DEIA programs, and that they do not participate in boycotts of Israeli. Violations of the terms can result in cancelled grants and payback reqs. 1/

These studies will probably get cut too when findings support that:
1) a very small minority of people detransition
2) of those that do detransition, the majority do it for their safety or financial reasons
3) many "detransitioners" REtransition at some point
trans people aren't going anywhere🤷

After Kennedy's Destruction at NIH, Alcohol Prevention and Addiction Medicine Must Stand In Solidarity - Alcohol Justice
Kennedy's funding cuts and mass firings at NIH means alcohol prevention, research and recovery--and the entire addiction medicine field--must stand together.

Got my first offer yesterday after 3 years of working for it and 30 PhD applications. It also came 30 minutes into a full-day interview at one of my top choices. I was just pacing around my house crying with relief during the interview breaks 😅🥲.

Although it's nerve-racking while waiting for admission decisions, it's quite a time to be alive. At any moment, I could get an email or call that is a true crossroads in this life, whole new chapter and direction. It's wild how much can fit into one short life.

We're in the process of formalizing an intake/application system for volunteer research assistants (usually undergrad, but sometimes high school) at the Boness Addiction Lab. Any labs members out there willing to share their process for this for us to see an example? Thank you.
