💚 On World Mental Health Day, we recognize that behind every smile is a story we may not know.

A simple check-in, a listening ear, or a moment of kindness can make a meaningful difference. Let’s continue creating spaces where people feel heard, valued, and supported.

We are excited to share the launch of the new Article Collection, “Behavioral and Physical Performance in Public Service Professions,” in Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine.

Dr. Brian Moore and Dr. Sarah Lanham of the AMES Research Center are serving as Guest Advisors for this new collection, bringing together research on the health, well-being, and performance of public service professionals.

The collection is now accepting manuscript submissions on the health, well-being, and performance of public service professionals, including sleep, nutrition, physical activity, occupational fitness, stress, burnout, resilience, leadership, workplace culture, health disparities, and technology-driven health solutions.

Researchers across public health, kinesiology, psychology, social work, and occupational health are invited to contribute.

You can find information on the article collection here: https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/article_collections/health-psychology-and-behavioral-medicine-public-service-professions/

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage, service, and sacrifice shown by so many in the days that followed. Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember their lives, their legacy, and the resilience of a nation united in grief and hope.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

A week later, we’re still reflecting on the conversations, connections, and moments that made the 2026 DBHDD Su***de Prevention Conference so meaningful.

Bringing together professionals, community partners, advocates, and others committed to su***de prevention reminded us just how powerful it can be to create space for people to learn from one another, share experiences, and build connections across disciplines and communities.

We’re especially grateful to our speakers, whose knowledge and perspectives gave us so much to think about, and to every attendee who showed up ready to listen, learn, ask questions, and contribute to the conversation.

The conference may have lasted only two days, but we hope the ideas shared, relationships formed, and conversations started will continue well beyond our time together.

As we look back, one message continues to stand out: su***de prevention is a shared responsibility, and connection is one of our most powerful tools.

Thank you to everyone who spent those two days with us and who continues this important work in their own organizations and communities. 💙

September is the National Su***de Prevention Month.

Sometimes, showing up for someone can be as simple as checking in, listening, or reminding them that they matter.

This month, and every month, let’s make a little more room for kindness, connection, and hope.

Reach out. Check in. Be there. 💜
