@spbecker @sylviapperry Most accurate response.

[Tori Van Dyk, Ph.D. @tvandyk18]

I'm heartbroken, angry, and scared. School is where my kids build friendships, learn, grow, share joy. But in this moment, I'm having a hard time justifying the risk.

"Resilience to harm should not be a prerequisite for success as a trainee." @PerryCatlin Putting into words something that constantly floats in the back of my mind.

[Tori Van Dyk, Ph.D. @tvandyk18]

@PerryCatlin @SPPDiv54 So well said, Perry!

I had so many strong emotions about this message and am surprised by how much of my mental space continues to be occupied by this. But I have also felt so much pride in my society and the members in it who took a strong stand. Thanks to you all.

The past 24 hours have been horrifying.
SPP will not tolerate - or stand for - violent and hateful messages that create an environment where members are repeatedly traumatized.
Thank you to all who spoke up and showed our organization at its best.
That is Peds Psych.

Brecken and Addilyn are feeling "silly" and "cute" after practicing feeling their feelings this morning! What a great book about emotions! Check out Feel Your Feelings by @painpsychsara @scottstoll!!!

[Tori Van Dyk, Ph.D. @tvandyk18]

@cyranodebuffalo Thank you for being brave enough to speak up about the true atrocity facing our society: backing into parking spaces. If you can back in, surely you can back out???

[Tori Van Dyk, Ph.D. @tvandyk18]

@spbecker Oh no, I'm so sorry your family is going through this right now. Sending lots of healing thoughts your way.

[Tori Van Dyk, Ph.D. @tvandyk18]

We knew that #youthmentalhealth has been worsening, now the data shows us just how bad it is. As researchers, we need to think long and hard about how our studies contribute to shifts in the field that can disrupt and reverse this trend. #yoouthmentalhealthcrisis
