Description
In this 90-minute webinar, participants will learn more about evidence-based sleep interventions and their potential applications for improving sleep health in youth ages 6-17. The session will explore the impact of poor sleep and nightmares on psychological well-being and development, as well as strategies for adapting sleep interventions to meet the unique needs of children and adolescents. Additionally, the session will present a model for understanding the mechanisms through which sleep interventions may enhance emotional regulation during transitions (e.g., a parent’s deployment) or stressful times (e.g., holidays). Participants will also review research findings on sleep interventions when there are co-occurring mental health concerns. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge of effective adaptations of sleep interventions for youth to implement successfully into clinical practice.
