Currently he is conducting a study on despair and suicidality among adult gay men. As a gay man living in NYC since 1992, Dr Kull personally and professionally experienced unprecedented acceptance of LGBTQ+ people nationwide and the continued challenges facing queer people despite this significant progress. His intimtate knowledge of the importance of being connected and understood informs his work with clients of all backgrounds.
