I had the pleasure of catching up with Shawn Shea at #AAS18. Shawn is one of the world's leading experts in psychiatric interviewing (https://amzn.to/2vFhHOD Check out our interview and role play about uncovering suicidal ideation and intent:...
Amazing time at #AAS18 in Washington, DC. Learned a ton, worked hard and played harder. The fine folks in this photo with me (@Shhhmile & @saraheliztweets) work VERY hard to prevent suicide AND build lives worth living. Honored to call them friends. #SPSM

For the next hour I'll be tweeting out the @intheforefront's presentation Forefront in the Schools #AAS18 #SPSM
A couple of days ago I talked with Jim Mazza about his DBT curriculum for schools at #AAS18. Amazing school. I spoke with Jim and and David Miller about addressing suicide risk in schools #SPSM
Recurring question at #AAS18: Are we doing it wrong, or are people not getting into services? @FordhamGSS's Dana Alonzo is doing great work on how to engage suicidal folks in mental health services. socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2017/09/engagement.html #socialwork
It was an honor to interview @AASuicidology President-elect, @davidwcovington about #ZeroSuicide. Check out our interview here: socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2016/09/zerosuicide.html #AAS18 #SPSM
McIntosh: I abhorred the concept of "exposure" in suicide when I first heard it. (Exposure includes loss survivors.) I've changed my mind. HT @juliecerel #AAS18 #SPSM
John McIntosh has an impressive publication record. Check it out here: scholar.google.com/citations #AAS18 #SPSM
McIntosh has been responsible for compiling and writing up the invaluable @AASuicidology #suicide fact sheet http://www.suicidology.org/resources/facts-statistics #AAS18 #SPSM
McIntosh: My first conference was Denver 1979. I went to Cynthia Pfeffer's pre-conference workshop. It was amazing." Dr. Pfeffer's pubs: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=pfeffer+CR #AAS18 #SPSM
John McIntosh, 2018 Dublin Award winner #AAS18. "This is my 40th consecutive @AASuicidology conference. I wouldn't have been here without my mentors. Being able to talk to Robert Litman, Norman Farberow & Edwin Shneidman was one of the best experiences of my professional life."
Especially when we talk about firearms and suicide, #LanguageMatters. Instead of talking about restricting means, talk about being safe. People understand and agree with means safety.

Britton: Using MI2, we explored and resolved ambivalence around suicidal ideation. Using MI3 we started with engaging and moved through resolving ambivalence. #AAS18 #SPSM
Britton: We had to change our intervention in the middle of the study because motivational interviewing changed. #AAS18 #SPSM (to learn more about the changes in MI, here's an interview I did with Mary Velasquez http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2013/09/MI3.html
Listening to Peter Britton talk about use of a motivational interviewing intervention to reduce suicide risk with #veterans. #AAS18
Listening to @PsychBrownBag talk about means safety as a way of reducing suicide. One of his most compelling pieces of research found that preventing access to guns rather than regulating use & storage was most effective #suicideprevention #AAS18 #SPSM
I was so impressed with @KayWarren1's #AAS18 keynote about #suicideloss and #joy. The way she spoke about her faith through grief captivated rather than divided the audience. It was a beautiful and moving way to start the day.
Audience question: How do people without faith heal from loss? Answer @KayWarren1: be connected to the intangible, however that works for you. #AAS18 #SPSM
Listening to @KayWarren1's heartbreaking and inspiring story about her son's suicide, I hear the absence of the mental health professionals. #AAS18 #SPSM
Not a dry eye in the ballroom listening to @KayWarren1 share her story of suicide loss. "My son's suffering left us in a place of terror - I saw myself sitting on the edge of hell." http://kaywarren.com/ #AAS18 #SPSM
#AAS18 highlight- @suicideresearch sharing his grief and confusion about the suicide deaths of two influential colleagues, and how that drove his work on the Integrated Motivational Volitional Model of #suicidal behavior. Plus, it looks like he's dancing :-)
