SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mind Matters: The Role of Sleep in Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:When life gets busy\, it's easy to skimp on sleep. You might stay up late to meet a deadline or wake up early to get to an important appointment. Or\, maybe you're someone who tries to get a solid 8 hours\, but can't stay asleep throughout the night. You're not alone. It turns out more than a third of Americans aren't getting enough good quality shut-eye. This not only leaves us feeling tired and groggy during the day—it can also negatively impact our health.\n\nIt's easy to see (and feel!) the ways that a good night's sleep helps our physical well-being\, but did you know sleep is also essential for good mental health? Research shows that sleep and mental health are deeply interconnected. Many mental health conditions\, including depression and anxiety\, are linked to poor sleep. Different age groups have different sleep needs\, but what's clear is that getting enough sleep is a key ingredient to leading a happy\, healthy life.\n\nJoin us as our experts discuss the links between sleep and mental health and break down what the research has to say about how we can maximize both. They will also share practical tips all of us can use to get a little more beauty sleep.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film Screening: My Beautiful Stutter
DESCRIPTION:My Beautiful Stutter is a critically acclaimed documentary that follows a small group of kids ages 9 to 18 who stutter. Though they hail from different parts of the U.S. and have different backgrounds\, these young people share similar social and emotional challenges—especially at school where they are often interrupted\, avoided\, or discouraged from speaking because of their stutter. After meeting one another at an arts-based program at The Stuttering Association for the Young (SAY) in New York City\, they begin to experience an incredible transformation. Despite years of bullying and stigmatization\, they learn a revolutionary idea at the heart of SAY: that it's okay to stutter.\n\nHosted by the Ann Arbor Stuttering Awareness and Research Club (A2STAR) and the U-M Speech Neurophysiology Lab. Panel discussion to follow film. RSVPs appreciated!

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mind Matters: AI and Mental Health Risks
DESCRIPTION:From schools and workplaces to the phones in our pockets\, AI tools are everywhere. As more people use generative AI tools like ChatGPT\, Claude\, and others in their daily lives\, concerns are rising among mental health and technology researchers about how these tools can affect the way we think and feel—not necessarily for the better. \n\nJoin us as experts from the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry and School of Information discuss the risks of using AI tools and chatbots when it comes to our mental health and wellbeing. They will break down how this technology can negatively impact our mental health\, what mental health workers are seeing with their patients in the real world\, and what we can all do to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. By avoiding the pitfalls of these technologies\, we can prevent these tools from hijacking our attention in unproductive ways that hold us back from living our lives fully.\n\nThis event is brought to you in partnership with the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.\n\nWebinar on May 5\, 7:00pm - 8:30pm\nRegister here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sYcOP0pkTz-kK99SnYbnEw#/registration\n\nSpeakers:\n1.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mini Symposium Series: Lessons from the Blue Zones
DESCRIPTION:Since the dawn of time\, humans have searched for the fountain of youth.  Globally\, people spend trillions of dollars on wellness and longevity.  We are endlessly searching for the secret to extending the quality and length of our lives.  \n\nBut what if some people had already found the secret? And\, what if they are living longer without even trying? \n\nThat is what Dan Buettner believes he has uncovered in the blue zones.  \n\nWe will be sitting down with the New York Times best-selling author and National Geographic fellow for the next installment of our Mini Symposium Series\, Lessons from the Blue Zones\, on Friday\, May 8\, at 2 p.m. via Zoom.

Feldman will be joined by Michigan Medicine’s own experts — Drs. David Conroy and Donovan Maust— for a live panel discussion\, during which they will also field audience questions.

The BD² Integrated Network has since expanded its clinical sites to 11 institutions across the United States and Canada. Along with the long-term studies and databases\, the BD² Integrated Network sites are working together to design and implement a Learning Health Network (LHN) for bipolar disorder.\n\nWebinar attendees will learn more about the Prechter Program's role in the BD²: Integrated Network\, including team member's contributions to building the Learning Health Network and will hear from a BD² study participant.\n\nThis webinar is open to everyone interested in learning more about the BD²: Breakthrough Discoveries for Thriving with Bipolar Disorder study.
