Dr. Posner’s work has been noted in a keynote speech at the White House and cited in Congressional hearings, and she gave the lead presentation in a U.S. Senate forum on school safety after the Parkland tragedy. Through her advocacy, she has changed local, national and international policy, which in turn has helped achieve reductions in suicide across all sectors of society. An Israeli government official said her work “is not only saving millions of lives but in Israel it is literally changing the way we live our lives.”
The Columbia Protocol is policy across all 50 states, national agencies, and most countries. Dr. Posner’s scholarly work has been included in the compendium of the most important research in the history of the study of suicide, and in 2018 she was awarded The Secretary of Defense Medal for Exceptional Public Service.
