While suicide prevention is important to address year-round, Suicide Prevention Month provides a dedicated time to come together with collective passion and strength to address this difficult topic. The truth is, we can all benefit from honest conversations about mental health conditions and suicide, because just one conversation can change a life. If you or a loved one needs help you can call, chat, or text 988 for 24/7 support. National Suicide Prevention Office #988 #childmentalhealth

Meet Dr. Danielle Roubinov - UNC Psychiatry Assoc. Professor and CHAAMP Scholar - UNC Childhood and Adolescent Anxiety and Mood Disorder Program - Dr. Roubinov previously was with UCSF, where she founded the Childhood Adversity and Resilience Lab. She led basic and translational studies to understand the processes through which early adversity affects children’s mental health and developed interventions that help at-risk children and families develop resilience. “It’s exciting to see the extent that research can change people’s lives. I am deeply committed to transforming the mental health care we provide for children and families in order to reshape trajectories of risk to pathways of resilience.” She believes that all children deserve a lifetime of health, positive development, and achievement, and we’re thrilled to have her as the CHAAMP Scholar. #uncpsychiatry #childhoodmentalhealth

LinkedIn is all about engaging with business leaders in our community. We'd love to hear from you about how/if your company offers mental health resources for you and your family.

If you or someone you know is considering suicide or needs mental health resources please call, chat, or text 988 for 24/7 support.

Meet Dr. Anthony Zannas (UNC Psychiatry), one of our Foundation of Hope-funded researchers. Dr. Zannas has been granted $147,167 to explore how chronic psychological stress affects epigenetic regulation and influences dementia pathology in minoritized individuals. Decades of psychological stress endured by minority populations may silently increase dementia risk later in life, yet the biological pathways behind this link are poorly understood. Now, groundbreaking research is delving into these mechanisms at the molecular level. This study could offer vital insights into how epigenetic changes caused by stress and societal challenges increase vulnerability to dementia, aiding tailored prevention and intervention efforts in disproportionately affected underserved communities.
