Dr. Frey’s work emphasizes the important role of family members during the recovery process for suicide attempt survivors. As a clinician and family scientist, Dr. Frey aspires to conduct research that has clear implications for both family life educators and mental-health service providers. All too often, the family environment is considered a treatment context only for children and adolescents, which limits our efforts in treating suicidal behavior within adults. Dr. Frey advocates for examining the family’s role in experiences leading up to suicidal behavior and the assets families can provide in the treatment process for individuals of all ages. Dr. Frey is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in both Kentucky and Indiana and an AAMFT-Approved Clinial Supervisor.
