@AASuicidology is committed to addressing the harms that settler colonialism and white supremacy have perpetuated at a systemic level. We also value individual-level interactions that challenge and heal. We started at #AAS20 and will continue at #AAS22. Thank you.
Love @sbrinton's introduction to #AAS21 988 panel. Sam's presentation at #AAS20 was one of the highlights of the conference. You always bring the energy and passion to this and every topic you speak on....
Great talking see #AAS20 speaker Lorenzo Lewis featured in @CNN. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/23/us/black-... #AAS365
A2: When we announced the speakers for #AAS20 (a mix of BIPOC and white speakers) long-time AAS members complained that we didn't have any serious researchers and were ruining the conference. This critique persisted through the conference. #ELEVATETHECONVO
Myth: Suicide is a white people problem.
Fact: Black youth suicide rate rising faster than white youth.

Frank Campbell: If you look at the old gravestones, you see a date of birth and a date of death. In suicide, we focus only on the last date and forget about everything that happened between that first date and the last one. #AAS20

And... that's a wrap!
Cheri Skelding is rocking the local level perspective on the proposed 988 number. Fabulous closing invited panel for #AAS20 with @battle4justice, @samhsagov's Richard McKeon and others.

Thank you so much for being part of #AAS20 today @kelslee777. We are grateful for your work.
One of the ways #AAS20 is expanding perspectives is by partnering with sports organizations to address suicide prevention and mental well-being among student and professional athletes. Here's a screenshot of today's panel. https://www.usacycling.org/member-well-being
@sbrinton just gave a masterclass on how to integrate research, policy, and personal narrative to inspire and motivate people to make a difference. Such an amazing #AAS20 keynote. Thank you!!!
@sbrinton "Conversion therapy didn't work, but it sure did a lot of harm." @TrevorProject has helped to pass laws against conversion therapy at a faster rate than marriage equality. #AAS20
Amazing #AAS20 keynote by @sbrinton. Who is Sam? A bisexual, genderfluid, nuclear engineer nerd. "Suicide prevention is much more complicated than nuclear engineering. I've done both, I know." AMAZING
Humbled and honored to get feedback about #AAS20 Day 1 like @sbrinton's. Can't wait for their keynote tomorrow "From Stonewall to Suicide Prevention: How We Can Be Advocates to Save Young #LGBTQ Lives" https://https://t.co/upmeEwNaSj
The goals of mainstream suicide prevention movement have been defined through paternalism "we know better than those who have thoughts of suicide." (about us without us). e.g. Instead of asking people what they want, suicide risk assessment decides what people need. #AAS20
"This list looks to us like the way mainstream suicide prevention is conceptualized and practiced in the USA." @JessStohlmann & @leahida Powerful closing keynote for the Day 1 of #AAS20. Uncomfortable? Good.
