It’s #NationalComingOutDay. I’m grateful for the family and friends who met me with love and support. It’s something I’ll never take for granted, especially now as so many LGBTQ+ people face hostility and harmful policies. To anyone still figuring it out: You’re not alone, and your truth matters. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I had an amazing week disconnecting a bit while exploring Northern Michigan, Mackinac Island, and the Upper Peninsula. It’s about time I saw more of the state I’ve called home for eight years. What a beautiful place! #PureMichigan

Last month I spoke at AFSP’s Advocacy Forum on using data and stories to drive change. Today, 988’s LGBTQ+ line was shut down. Advocacy matters, and it’s important to speak up. Join us in telling Congress to continue this important funding! afsp.quorum.us/campaign/12316…#AFSPadvocacycy

AFSP strongly denounces today’s action by Congress to enact deep cuts to Medicaid, jeopardizing access to mental health and substance use care for millions of Americans. We urge lawmakers to reverse course and protect Medicaid access.

Today marks 15 years since we lost David. The grief of losing a sibling to suicide is complicated. But I'm grateful for the moments when we remember him, and for the community, the career, and the purpose I found in this loss. That’s the “why” that keeps me going.

This week I presented at the @afspnational.bsky.social Advocacy Forum and joined 250+ advocates on Capitol Hill. From impact communication to policy change to evaluation, I’m grateful for the variety in my work and the many ways we advance suicide prevention. #AFSPAdvocacy

Cutting the LGBTQ+ youth-specific services of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will have devastating impacts, putting young lives at risk. @afspnational.bsky.social urges Congress to reverse this decision. I’m proud to work for an organization that fights for what’s right.

A great morning presenting at the Society for Community Research and Action’s Biennial Conference about AFSP’s LETS Save Lives program. I was also honored to be part of the opening plenary panel discussion. I’m excited to be back at MSU for a great few days with fellow community psychologists!

Happy #Pride! As we celebrate love, identity, and the power of community, it’s more important than ever to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. In this sociopolitical climate, Pride is not just a celebration, but an act of resistance. Happy #PrideMonth to all, and to all a good fight! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
