My research focuses on suicide prevention among particularly vulnerable groups. As a psychologist, I have worked for several years with suicide prevention in mental health settings, and this clinical experience forms the foundation of my research interests. In DRISP, I am involved in developing a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of a psychotherapeutic intervention aimed at preventing suicide among individuals with psychiatric diagnoses who are discharged following inpatient treatment.
