When assessing for suicide risk, try asking "What's the closest you've come to suicide?" rather than "Have you ever made a suicide attempt?". You'll get a deeper, more nuanced response.

Powerful from Christine Moutier.

US$ 120 million annually in suicide research

US$ 1 billion annually in 988 crisis line

Even though USA is ~5 times UK, per capita no chance that UK is investing anything like that

UK governments MUST prioritise suicide prevention

It was such an honor to be part of the Symposium: Collaborating with Youth and School Staff to Prevent Youth Suicide with Janelle Goodwill, @annamueller.bsky.social, Pamela Morris-Perez, and Carolina Vélez-Grau. The papers worked together and the full room was there for it!

I really appreciated that Patrick Kennedy gave a very down-to-earth and practical explanation of how folks in suicide prevention can think about policy work. How do you frame the issues? What ideas are fundable? So good (with Brandon Johnson).

It was a testament to
@roryoc.bsky.social's leadership of @iaspinfo.bsky.social and his standing in Suicidology that almost everyone who took to the main stage proudly claimed their Irish heritage at
#IASPMinneapolis2024. I'm not, but it didn't stop me from getting a selfie.

I cite their work. I see them online. So great to get a photo with Pamela Morris-Perez, Mort Silverman, Pete Gutierrez, @amybrausch.bsky.social, @cherylking.bsky.social, Jennifer Muehlenkamp, Maddy Gould, and Christine Moutier.

Grateful to present with and break bread with @annamueller.bsky.social at #IASPMinneapolis2024. The work she and @sethabrutyn.bsky.social do on social roots of youth suicide is invaluable. This week, she unveiled a transformative idea: leveraging organizational insights to drive change in schools.

I know it was only a few days ago, but I'm loving these pix from @iaspinfo.bsky.social #IASPMinneapolis2024. Great presenting with you and hanging out, @annamueller.bsky.social.
Nothing is quite as invigorating as getting together in person to share insights into #SuicidePrevention. So grateful I went to #IASPMinneapolis2024.

Didnt snag pics w all the folks I saw for the first time IRL (👋 The Brandon Johnson) or reconnected w after years…but it was 🤩🤩🤩

Its wonderful learning from people with #LivedExperience on the main stage at #IASPMinneapolis2024

#SuicidePrevention requires learning from attempt and loss survivors 💗

One of the highlights of #IASPMinneapolis2024 was eating lunch at the James Beard award-winning Native American restaurant, Owamni by The Sioux Chef. The decolonized eating experience was magical. Each dish was delicious and distinct.

The Partnerships for Life preconference is sharing some of the challenges with suicide prevention in South America. I never considered the difficulties with political instability... But good to keep in mind 🤦🏻

One of the best things about in-person conferences? Seeing amazing people. I bumped into Richard McKeon and Ursula Whiteside at the morning coffee break. We talked about Paul Wellstone's role in #SuicidePrevention. Connection and belonging in action!

“When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear wind”. In her discussion of human connection, listening and responding to the voices of young people in the Caribbean to prevent youth suicide, Margaret Nakhon-Chatoor makes a powerful point. “#IASPMINNEAPOLIS2024
