Together with Dr. Paul Granello (also at The Ohio State University), I conduct workshops and training on suicide prevention, assessment, and intervention.

In 2006, OSU was awarded funding by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for the development of a campus-wide suicide prevention plan. I serve as principal investigator for that project, and more than 30 campus and community partners are involved in the project. Click here to go to information about this grant.

Paul is the Chief Science Officer for The Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation.  In addition, he also has received funding from SAMHSA to do suicide prevention in Ohio schools.

Paul and I have a book, entitled:

Suicide: An Essential Guide for
Helping Professionals and Educators
(Allyn & Bacon, 2007)

We conduct two hour, three hour, and six hour trainings on suicide.
