There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Discussion points include;
- How they went about examining sleep as a proximal risk factor for suicide
- Their finding that short sleep may impair how teens can regulate their already intense emotions
- Implications of their findings are for CAMH professionals
- How they envisage their findings will translate into practice
- Resources that listeners may find of use
- Advice for parents or carers, CAMH professionals and policy makers.
In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
