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.

Brandon Johnson, Patrick Kennedy, and Jonathan Singer
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).

Patrick Kennedy: All the mental health organizations have their Hill day on different days. I keep telling them, if they want to make a difference, coordinate Hill day so that all the NASW, APA, etc members flood the halls of Congress on the same day. #IASPMinneapolis2024

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

Fantastic opening plenary session this morning at #IASPMINNEAPOLIS2024.
Great presentations from Gerard Hutchinson, Christine Moutier & Marsha Oss
Common theme across talks: although there’s cause for hope, more needs to be done to prioritise suicide prevention nationally & internationally

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.

Really appreciated AFSP's Dr. Christine Moutier's
Keynote at #IASPMinneapolis2024. She reminded us about the importance of funding for suicide prevention and how far we have to go. She also shared about AFSP's amazing community programs. afsp.org/community-pr...

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.

Selfie with Jonathan Singer and Jerry Reed
It is always an honor and pleasure to see social work and #SuicidePrevention legend, Jerry Reed. I don't think I've ever had a conversation with Jerry that wasn't authentic, inspiring and on point. That's a gift.

Brian Mishara: There is no evidence that national suicide prevention strategies correlate with a decrease in national suicide rates. Future research could compare the impact of strategies with the level of overall implementation of strategies.
