You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in the storm. You are the storm.
Thanks, Tom :)

I remember mine vividly, too. Was in the University PSC and I was sooo stoked. Wish it could feel that way again

Not sure I even feel paper acceptances anymore...this isn't a flex, just a reflection of how numb I am.

The formatting and grammar really brings the vim and vigor that has been missing in our scientific conversation; definitely a top reason I got into clinical psychology.

Said no one, ever.

While we can't predict how that prevents suicide, I am confident that the training and access offered by SSTI is saving lives.

Because of the work of my SSTI colleagues, more people have access to empirically supported treatment for PTSD and suicidal thoughts, they are getting better, and that improvement is measurable.

4500 clinicians trained in 2024.
40000 sessions of treatment completed.

Our recent impact report from @strongstartraining.bsky.social focuses not on shiny scientific arguments, but on the reach of clinicians into their communities across the United States supporting veterans and their family members in recovery from severe and debilitating psychological distress.

I joined SSTI to extricate myself (even if momentarily) from the rat race of "mechanism" research and learn from those disseminating and implementing research into practice, training, and support for clinicians doing the work.
