I had a wonderful time tabling for the LSU Psychological Services Center at the Planting Seeds of Hope event organized by Rain Will Bring Flowers this evening! It’s heartwarming seeing so many student athletes learn more about suicide prevention and collect therapy resources!

delighted to see this published 🙌 using EMA, we (with @roryoc.bsky.social) investigated suicidal ideation in daily life. we found that it arises from an interaction of within-person increases in loneliness and an individual’s level of personality functioning psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
