new video: youth suicide
5-part series provides in-depth look at youth suicide

 

Depressed TeenSuicide is the third leading cause of death for youths aged 10 to 24. Recently, researchers found that only 26% of teens thinking about suicide received mental health treatment. Parents, teachers and mental health professionals need to learn how to identify the warning signs and prevent youth suicide.

 

For our latest On-Demand Video series, Charles W. Mathias, Ph.D., and Arielle H. Sheftall, Ph.D., provide a comprehensive review of the following:

  • Risk factors for suicide
  • Theories of suicidal behavior
  • Non-suicidal self-injury
  • Treatment options for self-harm among youth

17 volunteers spruced up our playground 

 

Days of CaringA BIG THANK YOU to JE Dunn Construction employees who volunteered to give our outpatient campus playground some much needed TLC! The 17 volunteers filled our playground with soft fall material (lots of shoveling!), painted our fence, assembled new picnic tables, and trimmed trees. Thank you to General Coatings, Inc., for helping us paint the fence!
