Suicide prevention and the workplace

Abstract

Prevention Research Center for support, and all the faculty, students, and staff associated with the IPRC for their warmth, wit, and assistance. My committee was exceptional to work with, and I will forever be indebted to them. Marizen Ramirez introduced me to the joys of research and provided essential help with the pilot grant process. Sam Cochran served as an incredible mentor in suicide prevention work and somehow made Monday morning meetings the best part of any week. Cori Peek-Asa, my advisor and my first connection to injury prevention work at Iowa, guided me, challenged me, and supported me. Bill Field and Carri Casteel rounded out the committee with their enthusiasm and expertise. I'm eternally grateful to all my friends in Iowa, particularly the Pelicans and Defenestrators-thanks for giving me some semblance of work/life balance. My parents and sister cheered me on as I left New England for more school in a place I'd never been. A lifetime of thanks to them and the rest of my family, especially my Uncle David, for their unwavering support.
