So grateful the Bay State Banner highlighted our work in the context of Boston’s youth mental health policy efforts. @RandiMSchuster @JAACAP

More school support=more power to prevent, not just respond

We need sustainable, community-centered solutions

In this advanced review, @tersvar explores how early development, stress, and systemic environmental features play critical roles in the course of psychosis and inform a neurodevelopmental and multifaceted diathesis-stress model https://t.co/98poUsfYLO

[Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern @IPRatNU]

In a @chicagotribune op-ed, @AVPapachristos, @jamiekalven, & @jeeves write about their new study that develops tools to detect possible crews of criminal cops. They argue that early detection of corrupt police may stop the next Ronald Watts crew.

In our recent EEG study, we find motor deficits in activating & preparing behavioral responses in youth at CHR for psychosis. Blunted LRP amplitude predicted negative sx at 12mth.@APA_Journals @kjuston_osborne @wendyzhangwen @RobinNusslock @EmilyKappenman

Checking out Kates beautiful poster on connectivity and positive affect in youth at risk for psychosis @DammeSf @SIRSglobal #SIRS2022 🇮🇹

[Mittal ADAPT Lab @AdaptProg]

how do we know a risk marker is specific to psychosis, rather than indicative of Transdiagnostic vulnerability? check out new meta led by Zach Millman exploring these questions with neurocognition and CHR @SchizBulletin @jamesmgold @tersvar

Early life psychosocial adversities are broad and have unique impacts on development of cognition and clinical symptoms, though they are often reduced to simplistic socio-legal definitions of adversity (e.g. adoption, disrupted caregiving) Our latest 1/n https://t.co/0YXIR2g289

Excited to have contributed to this cool study led by @Ivanka031 with @AdaptProg showing links between stress responding/sensitivity and sleep in individuals at high risk for psychosis! Check it out 🙂https://t.co/y7aXg3USea
