Board-certified clinical psychologist and one of the world's leading suicide prevention researchers, with a focus on effective interventions for military and veteran populations.
Dr. Craig Bryan is a STAR (Stress, Trauma, and Resilience) Professor of Psychology at The Ohio State University and one of the most prolific researchers in the field of suicide prevention. He is a board-certified clinical psychologist whose work has substantially advanced understanding of suicide risk among military service members and veterans — populations that face distinctive stressors complicating both assessment and intervention.
Dr. Bryan has led numerous clinical trials testing the effectiveness of brief, structured interventions for suicidal ideation and behavior, including Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention (BCBT). This treatment is now among the most evidence-supported interventions available for suicidal service members and has been adopted across multiple military and VA healthcare settings. He has published hundreds of peer-reviewed articles and several books, and his research has directly shaped clinical guidelines and policy within the Department of Defense and the Veterans Health Administration.
