A new study, published in the
American Journal of Audiology
, is the first to examine the relationship between parental mental illness such as anxiety, depression and anger in childhood and the risk of suicidal and self-harm ideations in adults who suffer from these debilitating hearing disorders.
|
|
“If the history of parental mental illness in childhood significantly increases the risk of self-harm-then it would be important to screen for them in order to make timely onward referrals to mental health services,” said the studies co-author, Ali Danesh, Ph.D., a member of
FAU’s Brain Institute.

Frontiers for Young Minds recently published an article written by Alexandra Paz, a second-year Integrative Biology and Neuroscience (IBAN) student at FAU Jupiter.
"What Can a Blind Fish Teach Us About Sleep?" explores the various experiments that can be conducted using cavefish and why these experiments might be useful for humans. Students from the Explora Science Center and Children's Museum reviewed the article. Paz and Alex Keene, an associate professor of biological sciences in FAU's
Charles E. Schmidt College of Science then were able to address the reviews. The journal allows young students to learn directly from the scientists that are conducting the research.

If lifting a heavy box or carrying a TV is not something you’re comfortable with, you can also help at one of our volunteer stations. There you can assist with other critical tasks, such as handing out water, monitoring elevator usage, and directing people where to go.
