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 🔗 tinyurl.com/5f33eta8

In a new @JAACAP study, researchers from @MassGeneralNews and colleagues found that more staff addressing mental health in schools buffers toll of growing up in disadvantaged communities.

New @JAACAP paper — school #MentalHealth staff buffer negative effect of neighborhood deprivation on student #MentalHealth. Delighted to support this critical work by @tersvar, @MeghanACostello, Henning Tiemeier, & crew! @MGHPsychiatry @HarvardChanSPH jaacap.org/article/S0890-…

@flourn0 @leahsom @cecily_cardew it was a joy to learn from you even in this short time, and truly the new position sounds incredible, so meaningful and full of opportunities for nourishing science and the future of the work we do. they are soooooososo lucky to have you

@emmarubyfrancis @DammeSf Fascinating work, thank you for sharing! here is the initial piece Kate and I worked on (cross-sectional though-working on longitudinal!) doi.org/10.1002/hbm.25…

@DammeSf @tersvar Thank you Katherine for the support! Would be v interested to see that work using ABCD. We only identified 2 studies that met criteria that looked at neighbourhood adversities so more definitely needs to be done in that area (preferably longitudinal)

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 annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

@hypoKATHia 😂

My mom to me, “If I danced like that I’d sit in a closet.” Hahahahahaha #burn

@ClaudiaMHaase @AdaptProg Thank you!

@AdaptProg @tersvar Congrats, Teresa! 🎉

Congratulations to @tersvar on successfully defending her dissertation today!

@EMDworak @DammeSf @AdaptProg thank youuu😁

@DammeSf @tersvar @AdaptProg Congrats!!! 🥳🎉

@DammeSf @AdaptProg so grateful for my forev collaborator🥰🥹

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. spr.ly/6011zJlfB

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 psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-58…

@trevfw @Ivanka031 @DaniDoesPsych thank uuuuu😁😁adapt hang soon

@matthewrbroome @Ivanka031 thank you!!:)

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

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 academic.oup.com/schizophreniab…

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 cambridge.org/core/journals/…

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 🙂sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
