Advanced sleep course: evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders

Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent, especially among patients with mental illness. This year we propose 2 clinical sessions on sleep to provide the practicing mental health professional with pragmatic, advanced knowledge of pharmacological and behavioral treatments of sleep disorders in children, adolescents, and young adults. This session is being proposed as a second advanced program on diagnosing and treating major sleep disturbances. Pharmacological and behavioral treatments will be our primary focus with the emphasis on children and adolescents with mental health morbidities.
