I don't take for granted that my father survived his tenure and retirement in policing, & I'm beyond grateful to help make improvements to their working environments. I've published a decent amount of work on the topic of officer wellness & I hope to continue on in this area. (2/)
Today is #NationalLawEnforcementSuicideAwarenessDay
I wrote this dedication for my dissertation in 2021. In the 4 years since, another 500 officers have died by suicide. It is for these individuals - these mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends - that I do this work. (1/)

When daycare works, it's LIFECHANGING.
When the little germs pass every low-risk but ridiculously contagious & annoying disease from one to another & I have to work from home without childcare unexpectedly, it makes me want to yeet myself into traffic.

Now that I’ve got my base website launched, I need to beef it up!
Add my speaking engagements (podcasts/webinars), & I want to add to it with blogging/substacks, short form videos with educational content, maybe the basis of a pending book. 👀👏🏼

#APB Spotlight Day 10!
Law enforcement suicide is a national crisis.
Research by @danslawrence.bsky.social, Jessica Dockstader, & @kepadil.bsky.social breaks down 977 officer deaths by suicide in the U.S. (2016–2022) and shows where, and among whom, the risk is highest. 🧵(1/4)
✨E L E V E N✨ YEARS AGO I took my NNSU undergraduate graduation photos.
What a wild ride it’s been. 🥳🥂
Having my research be included in a report like PERF about a topic I've devoted my career to is an absolute dream. Thank you Police Executive Research Forum for sharing the work done by @danslawrence.bsky.social Jessica Dockstader, CWP and I!

New psychiatrist: have you ever engaged in any self-harm behaviors?
Me: other than getting a PhD? *finger gun & chuckle*
Psychiatrist: …
Me: 😬
Psychiatrist: so let’s talk medications.
Me: 😶
Asian women: 94 cents White women: 80 cents Black women: 66 cents Native and Latina women: 58 cents
Yesterday was #EqualPayDay and for every $1 white men make:
Asian women: 94 cents
White women: 80 cents
Black women: 66 cents
Native and Latina women: 58 cents
Women get paid less, but across racial lines the pay is even LOWER. This is #TheDoubleTax.

NEW study examining suicidal ideation among law enforcement officers. The big (not surprising) takeaway: improving mental health and responses to PTSD are critical aspects to preventing suicide among this population. More details in thread and links at the end.
Working on getting my own website going and dabbling in the idea of sharing some policing-related short content on a platform like YouTube. 🤔
Had quite the lovely chat with Scott Phillips on his new practitioner-oriented podcast @policeinservice.bsky.social about some of my work on police officer & personnel mental health, wellness, & dept services! Take a listen & please reach out with questions! ✨
