Really good, powerful piece about assisted dying and vulnerable people

New 10-year global study finds that suicide deaths increase on New Years Day. I sat down with Healio to talk about how we can understand this study and what we can do to support our loved ones. healio.com/news/psychiatr… HT Stacey Freedenthal Cc School of Social Work, Loyola University Chicago

This conversation on the Positive Disintegration podcast about suicidal experiences was deeply moving. I greatly enjoyed talking with the hosts Chris Wells and Emma Nicholson! positivedisintegration.org/p/suicide-stig…

Just released today! I’m excited about this new book on experiential therapy + mindfulness+ trauma sensitivity, by my friends and colleagues Julie Laser and Nicole Nicotera. a.co/d/eDaxHZG

Wait… WHAT?? Anyone in the know know if this is true?

Writing is the most important skill you can build. Writing improves your thinking. Writing sharpens your articulation. Writing strengthens your creativity. Writing grows your sphere of influence. Make writing a non-negotiable part of your day.

Suicidologists & other interested folks, the YRBS* data are GONE. I was on the site last night & marveled it still said the 2023 YRBS included trans youth for the first time. I hope it’s just a glitch. I fear it’s not. (h/t Jonathan Singer 🎙️) *Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance

Well, it's true. The government's purging all sites with data about gender, HIV, & the phrase "pregnant people." I know Trump's transphobic, which "explains" those deletions (inasmuch as they're explainable), but why does he find data on HIV offensive? medpagetoday.com/publichealthpo…

Do you try to cheer someone up or encourage them to stay positive when they’re down? Your intentions are good, but you might be missing a precious opportunity to listen and help. speakingofsuicide.com/2025/02/03/tox…

It's official! I'm delighted to give a keynote at the American Association of Suicidology annual conference in April, in Columbus, OH. I hope to see many of you there! :)

I’m worried. The rapid collapse of longstanding institutions in the U.S. and beyond can affect people’s mental health. I fear suicide rates could increase, and let me tell you: I hope I’m wrong!

These are dark times for many. This new blog post delves into reasons why many people with suicidal thoughts don’t act on them. Some of people’s reasons for living might surprise you, like masturbation, and spite! speakingofsuicide.com/2025/02/09/sta…

Oh, no. This adds to my worries that we’re going to see an increase in suicides — even more than usual, that is.

Happy to give the keynote today at NAMI-Maine’s conference Beyond the Basics: Suicide Prevention!

Oof, does this ever hit home these days.

This week’s suicidology conference #AAS25 is profoundly special for me. I’m a keynote speaker, which is already special. Also, it’s the 20-year conference-versary w/my husband Pete, a fellow suicidologist.❤️

Showed up a couple of days late, but grateful to be here at the American Association of Suicidology's Annual Conference. #AAS25 Stacey Freedenthal, PhD, LCSW has captivated this 900+ audience with her wit, stories & her insights from her lived experience. “I wanted to want to live.” #SuicidePrevention

Stacey Freedenthal reminds us of the power of hope, connection, and action. Right now, we need to call on radical hope to help us be curious, humble, and creative -- envisioning a goodness in the future that we can't fully understand. American Association of Suicidology #AAS25
