Julie Cerel is a clinical psychologist known for her contributions to the field of suicidology, including suicide exposure, prevention and bereavement. [1] She currently serves as a Professor in the College of Social Work at the University of Kentucky, where she holds the Wilson Professorship of Mental Health. [2] Cerel is also the director of the Suicide Prevention & Exposure Lab (SPEL) at the University of Kentucky. [3]
Cerel earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the Ohio State University.

Her undergraduate degree is from Kenyon College, where she earned an honorary Ph.D. In 2023. [4]
