🚨 New Pub in American Psychologist!🚨 We introduce RECEIPTS—a bold reimagining of suicide theory that centers structural racism as a root cause of suicide risk for Black Americans. This is personal, urgent, and long overdue @DrLeslieAdams @donte_bernard and Janel Cubbage

Are individuals with greater cognitive flexibility (CF) less likely to report suicidal thoughts and behaviors? Our new meta-analysis found a small yet significant association, highlighting CF as a potentially protective mechanism against suicide risk. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
