Gaza is descending into famine and Trump is turning his back on this moral crisis. There is no excuse - ever - to deprive civilians of desperately needed food and water. Trump must press Israel to end this blockade.

Our panelists will explore the impact of federally funded research on suicide prevention, how funding structures shape which communities and questions get attention, and the consequences of funding cuts and anti-DEI efforts on both scientific discovery and public health outcomes.

As suicide rates continue to rise, evidence-based research remains essential—but growing threats to federal research funding and the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are placing critical progress at risk.

Psychological scientists study real problems. When their work is defunded, dismissed, or silenced, we all lose. Right now, lawmakers are pushing efforts to erase critical research—from DEI to LGBTQ+ mental health to racial disparities in care.

Psychological science is under attack.
From funding cuts to political interference, the integrity of behavioral science—and the well-being of millions—are on the line. But this summer, we're fighting back.

This study is small but important. It points toward an urgent need to differentiate suicidal phenomena. Blunt tools can cost lives and erode trust.

📌 Suicide prevention requires nuance.

FPSIs may offer a promising supplemental tool in distinguishing between SOs and SI. They can help clinicians move beyond vague language and better tailor risk assessments and interventions.

This matters!
🔸 SOs do not imply intent.
🔸 They often signal distress, not danger.
🔸 Misidentifying SOs as SI may lead to inadequate treatment.
