THREAD:🧵 Lethal means safety counseling (LMSC), an evidence-based suicide prevention intervention, uses providers to encourage patients to limit their access to lethal means (e.g., firearms, medications).

This week marked the first gathering of more than 500 firearm researchers for the #2022FirearmResearchConf in Washington DC. After attending every talk and panel possible and hearing from some of the best and brightest in the field, here are my key takeaways 🧵(1/).

The #holidayseason can be a difficult time for many. Here is a gentle reminder to set boundaries, take breaks, and put your #mentalhealth first.

As a child psychiatrist I see the mental health effects of the pandemic regularly. The most lasting and harmful effects are experienced by kids who are grieving the untimely loss of loved ones. We need to remember these kids and lift them up.

Hey #AcademicNursing, watch out for this rising star!!! So excited for you to continue advancing the basic science of communication ⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a pleasure to collaborate with this team on this American Psychiatric Association paper under Dr. Amanda L. Sanchez, PhD leadership!

So grateful for Rinad Beidas, PhD -- an unparalleled mentor who cheered me on at my first keynote and always lifts up those around her -- such a bright light in the world.

Huge thanks to the Nursing Research Council at Lurie Children's for the incredible opportunity to present on harnessing nursing research + practice to prevent firearm violence, save young lives, and advance equity. Penn Nursing Penn Injury Science Center

Keeping firearms away from kids who at increased suicide risk is essential to keeping them safe. We show that these teens actually have increased firearm access compared to their peers. publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art… #LethalMeansSafety

I asked a bunch of Philly teenagers about the public places where they like to hang out - they struggled to name them. We talked about that, plus some of the changes they’d like to see. inquirer.com/news/teenagers…

I moderated a panel at the Youth Suicide Research Consortium conference on Friday on interventions for LGBTQ+ youth of color at risk for suicide. People were dropping resources in the chat the whole panel. Here are those resources for folks who need them:

Hugely compelling must read from Dr. Dorothy Novick MD: “These conversations are about safety, not politics. Instead of focusing on what might divide us, they center on the value we share with parents more than any other: the well-being of their children.”

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child. Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

Grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact for families here in Philadelphia and beyond. This work would not be possible without our stellar team and partners at CHOP. Stay tuned - more to come!
