CDP Presents: Restoring Rest - Helping Kids and Teens Navigate Sleep Through Life's Transitions and Stresses via Zoom

15 October 2025, Noon to 1:30 p.m. Eastern

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.

Please note: While registration is slated to end once the webinar begins on 15 October 2025, space in this event is limited and registration will close once capacity has been reached, even if this is before the final registration date. 

Target Audience: For behavioral health/healthcare providers who treat military personnel, veterans, and their families.
