We evaluated how suicidal thoughts, interpersonal difficulties, hopelessness, and affective states are associated with self-injury & identified factors which may be effective treatment targets. @UWAresearch @UWApsych @PerthSRN @NSSI_RG psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-…

Excited to have the opportunity to share some of my PhD research at #AACBT22 (@AACBT_org_au) in Naarm/Melbourne this week. Machine learning can help us identify patients at-risk of dropout in routine practice. I think it’s pretty cool! @A_page007

Always a pleasure to work with this group. Professor Houghton's comprehensive longitudinal studies of WA adolescents have provided a wealth of new knowledge regarding the antecedents of wellbeing and mental health difficulties

Feature in @PsychToday on our #Loneliness & #EmotionRegulation work. We found around half the differences in people's loneliness levels can be explained by the types of strategies we typically use to regulate our emotions. @Amit_Goldenb @EndLonelinessAU psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

Suicide prevention has failed owing to the emphasis on mental health-focused solutions. However, @craigjbryan proposes that suicide should be seen as a highly complex problem with many risk factors. Delve more into his new book "Rethinking Suicide" here: bit.ly/30lWmd3

A recent paper published in Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior finds interpersonal difficulties are more likely to result in suicidal thoughts for inpatients with low distress tolerance (tinyurl.com/8x4uhmbd) @A_page007 @KyronResearch @craigjbryan

Distress tolerance amplifies suicidal thoughts triggered by feeling a burden or as if you don’t belong. Implications for #SuicidePrevention strategies @SuicidePrevAU Get a copy at tinyurl.com/8x4uhmbd
