Profile
My research and clinical practice focuses on the promotion of psychological well-being and the study and prevention of suicide among older adults, middle-age and older men, and other at-risk populations. This program of research includes aims to enhance the identification and prevention of suicide by developing and testing theoretical models of suicide risk and psychological resiliency, risk assessment measures and methods, and clinical, community, and population-level interventions. Related interests include enhancing clinical and research knowledge and skill in Suicidology and in Geropsychology, improving public awareness of approaches to mental health promotion and suicide prevention, and in helping to create, coordinate, disseminate, and evaluate public health approaches to suicide prevention.
