Kendall Whitney-Snel
2024 Division 18 Professional Development or Service Grant
Without this funding, I would not have been able to complete my dissertation research! I will utilize the findings from the EMA and cross-sectional survey to inform individual interviews that explore the developmental trajectories of suicide risk and resilience/resistance among trans people of color. This grant has enabled me to begin laying the foundation for an intersectional suicidology approach in service of trans people of color’s wellbeing. Thank you so much for your support!”
