My eye twitches every time someone mentions “safety issues” as a barrier to having trainees work with court and legal systems-involved youth/adults. The stigma against these populations, and especially racialized stigma, is unreal within our field.

I just figured out how to do line breaks and bold in ScienCV for my biosketch, and I've never felt more powerful.

Last month, several authors released a policy brief on why social determinants of health should be assessed in forensic mental health settings. The brief offers guided questions to help practitioners better support youth with juvenile legal involvement. 🔗 Read: scholars.org/contribution...

You guys, I’ve made it: I was told to read my own work in an R&R I got today. Didn’t expect this to happen for a few more years, but here we are 😂

Feeling energized and ready to get back at it after a restful Thanksgiving! (Time spent with cute puppy didn't hurt)

Check out our brief with @scholars.org! We discuss the importance of assessing social determinants of health in forensic mental health settings and recommend questions to integrate into youth/caregiver assessments. @successcollab.bsky.social @lmarienich.bsky.social @kaitlinsheerin.bsky.social

The @successcollab.bsky.social was so delighted to have @drapryla.bsky.social come talk about her work within the realm of advocacy and public scholarship! We all were inspired and invigorated to do better and use our science to help the public!

Me making my ABCT slides weeks before the conference instead on the plane

Boomer editing of a manuscript means doing track changes and then highlighting the Problem Area (TM).

And I had just finally entered my “I’m faculty and I make my slides on the plane” era 😭

A great weight has been placed on my shoulders

When you realize that you’ve gotten through the high priority items on your to-do list and the only thing left is… Annual trainings?!??!

Based on the number of surveys I've been asked to fill out recently "as an NIH-funded researcher" that all have overlapping scope and questions, some of y'all reacted to the politicization of NIH and rise of facism by asking yourselves: "How can I get another pub out of this? 🤔"

‼️important question‼️ How long does one have to be faculty before donning the blazer/jeans/sneakers look at conferences?

Entering my third year of being faculty and as much as y'all talked about your flooded inboxes, you still undersold it My current FTE spread is: .5 emails .4 meetings .1 research (generous)

‼️New pub‼️ Caregivers becoming aware of their child’s behavioral health needs is an important 1st step to accessing services for them. Therefore, we decided to test whether parental monitoring was related to accessing services and supports! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/oidcS...

In my next life, I would like to have a career that involves a one-page resume instead of a CV where I constantly have to play detective to discern what I've done in the past year 😱 (Yes, I do know that there is this wonderful invention called “updating your CV as things happen” but I REFUSE)

This is me screaming into the void about the Tik Tokification of psychopathology www.psypost.org/the-adhd-sym...

Respectfully, the gov is mistaken. Nobody is suggesting we eliminate addiction from our lexicon. Sub use disorder is a clinical diagnosis. Addiction is a conversational term that lacks the specificity to be useful clinically. They’re just different. The terms to get rid of are abuse, dirty/clean.

Excited to be at my very first #IAFMHS! Ready to take in the sights and sounds of Dublin (and some science)

Excited to be presenting at my very first IAFMHS in Dublin next week! Hoping to see old and new faces there! 🍀

🚨NEW SYSTEMATIC REVIEW🚨 Over the past 30+ years, what have behavioral health-focused RCTs for youth involved in the juvenile legal system looked like? We sought to answer that question in our new systematic review: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

New article alert w/ @caitcavanagh.bsky.social and others! In this daily diary study, we explored how virtual social interactions (i.e., via phone or online) affected the mood and mental health of justice-involved and community adolescents across the first year of the pandemic. t.co/DxOa8NwMC0

Youth on probation with both mental health & substance use issues are 3.5x more likely to reoffend. Treatment helps—but one size doesn’t fit all. Tailored, integrated care is key. New findings from JJ-TRIALS: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

When I was in grad school, a family I was working with knitted a scarf for me. To this day, it remains one of my most treasured possessions. Whenever I feel like I'm not making a difference, it's a visible reminder that to some people, even on a very small scale, I've made a very big difference. ♥️

Just had a systematic review I'd been working on since I was on internship accepted--can't wait to share this one with the world. 🎉

Amidst all the chaos in academia rn, I'm still very proud to see this truly collaborative effort in print @torreycreed.bsky.social #schoolMH Prioritizing Partnerships in School-Based Implementation Research and Practice: Applying the ACCESS Model www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Come see me share spicy hot takes tomorrow at 9:30am! #CPA2025

Come see us at CPA with your coffee in hand at 9:30am Sarurday morning 🙂

For anyone else waiting on a NoA for an existing grant, I just got the NoA from NIDA for year 2 of my K23 a month late...so there's some hope?

What have trends in NIH funding looked like for projects focused on youth with juvenile legal system involvement? Short answer: while the number of projects increased over time, finding per project sharply decreased www.tandfonline.com/eprint/TJXFS...
