I'm currently working as a research assistant and I volunteer with crisis prevention.Suicide science can be understood as an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the causes of suicidal behaviour while improving suicide prevention and literacy; this is done through integrating biology, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology.I focus broadly on the stigma of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), the risks and predictors of when NSSI may escalate to suicidal self-injury, suicide and self-injury prevention+intervention, and harm reduction.I am also a part of a research group that's working with our local hospice. If you are interested in these things & wanna chat, my dms & ask box are open.┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ୨♡୧ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈"The great scholar W.E.B. Du Bois challenged America with a question: What does integrity look like in the face of oppression? That prophetic query forces psychologists to interrogate a similar line of reasoning, particularly in a contemporary American reality characterized by inequality, social pathology, racism, oppression, homelessness and political divisiveness. Given our positions as caretakers of the mind, heart and spirit of the people, psychologists must challenge ourselves—like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did when he spoke before us at the 1967 APA Annual Convention—to tell America about both the rage and hurt that simmer below the surface in black and other communities of color and to help much of white America confront and challenge the denial it seems to live in about what life is like for their culturally different counterparts who live on the margins of society. One place to start is to help America brave the question of: What allows each of you (us) to bear witness to the suffering of others, sit in silence and still maintain our humanity? Is that what integrity looks like?"
- Dr. Thomas Parham"How to integrate diversity and
inclusion into psychological
theory, research, practice and
training? Psychologists need to embrace diversity and inclusion as crucial domains in all aspects of psychology. To achieve these goals, they can incorporate interdisciplinary, holistic, intersectional, multicultural, cultural neuroscientific, and international perspectives into their work. To enhance inclusion, psychologists will expand the diversity construct by including every group that has been perceived as “the other.”
Moreover, psychologists are required
to engage in social justice advocacy.
Finally, there is a need for a public policy psychology, one that will shape health and mental health policy."
- Dr. Lillian Comas-Díaz
