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

Vulnerability to suicide may increase among people with heightened reward responsiveness (high BAS) when experiencing competing incentives (high BIS). What does this mean for suicide prevention?authors.elsevier.com/c/1ebldheKdqgYd @UWApsych @UWAresearch @craigjbryan @PerthSRN
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/findin…

Great Milestone 3 presentation by @KateTonta today. Made even better by it being a family affair. Well done @KateTonta, we are all very proud of you! #SelfInjury #Perfectionism @me_boyo @joel_howl @PeterMcEvoy13
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
Fantastic work by TKIs @NicoleTMHill to develop such a comprehensive report! Great to see the impacts of suicide being addressed on multiple levels
