Suicide Prevention & the Importance of Sleep: Supporting Young Adults Struggling with Mental Health Challenges

Our physicians will address two important issues young adults may face in college: lack of sleep and thoughts of suicide. Dr. Jason Peck will cover sleep disorders and the impact of reduced sleep on the emotional, cognitive, and physical self. Dr. Alyson Kuroski-Mazzei will address the very serious issue of suicide and what we can all do to help students who might be struggling with mental health issues. They will: 

• Identify 3 different sleep disorders and how they can affect students
• Describe how sleep impacts mental illness
• Identify 3 risk factors for suicide and 3 suicide prevention strategies
• Describe how mental illness and suicide are often linked, and how to recognize warning signs
