Cbt for insomnia (cbt-i)

It is estimated that 25 percent of children and adolescents suffer from a sleep problem at some point before entering adulthood. Research shows that more than 95 percent of child and adolescent psychiatrists prescribe at least one sleep medication monthly, yet numerous studies show that CBT-I works just as well as medication, is extremely cost-effective, and has longer-lasting benefits. Unfortunately, however, most child and adolescent psychiatrists are not trained in CBT-I. This Workshop will teach participants: 1) when and for whom CBT-I is an appropriate treatment intervention; 2) the 6 primary components of CBT-I; and 3) how to design CBT-I treatment plans for a variety of adolescent and young adult patients diagnosed with insomnia.
