Reflecting the efforts of so many - most importantly our study participants who gave their time to help others - I'm thrilled to share the results of our RCT evaluating the effectiveness of the #SafetyPlanningIntervention for #SuicidePrevention in the year after jail release.
RCT: Among people released from pretrial jail detention, those who received the Safety Planning Intervention with telephone follow-up experienced 42% fewer suicide events over 12 months compared with enhanced standard care. ja.ma/4oWA6vW

Today, Rep. Krajewski and I made it clear: Pennsylvania’s classrooms are not for sale. Our bill defends academic freedom — because no president, past or future, gets to control what our students learn.
Thank you Senator Williams and my other colleagues for your outspoken leadership!
