Recharge Your Body, Refresh Your Mind – Prioritize Healthy Sleep!

The National Sleep Foundation emphasizes that sleep is an essential function that allows your body and mind to recharge, leaving you refreshed and alert when you wake up. Healthy sleep also helps the body remain healthy and stave off diseases. Without enough sleep, the brain cannot function properly, impairing your abilities to concentrate, think clearly, and process memories. Sleep Awareness Week, March 9-15, 2025.

Self-Harm

Self-harm refers to when a person hurts their own body on purpose. A person who self-harms usually does not mean to kill themselves, but they are at higher risk of attempting suicide and dying by suicide if they do not get help. From SAMHSA

Self-injury (Cutting, Self-Harm or Self-Mutilation)

If someone displays the signs and symptoms of self-injury, a mental health professional should be contacted. A provider with self-injury expertise may be especially helpful, if available. Self-injury treatment options include outpatient therapy, partial-inpatient (6-12 hours a day) care, and inpatient hospitalization.
