Trauma and Sleep Disturbances
1 Hour | 1 CE
The on-demand professional training program on Trauma and Sleep Disturbances is presented by Jerrod Brown, PhD.
Adequate sleep is the foundation for optimal behavioral, cognitive, emotional, social, and physical health functioning. Several neurobiopsychosocial factors can impact overall sleep health. One such factor that may negatively impact sleep health is trauma. Persons impacted by trauma commonly experience sleep-related disturbances, and such issues are elevated among persons involved in psycholegal settings.
This program focuses on increasing awareness of the impact trauma has on sleep and the implications these topics have on criminal justice, forensic mental health, and legal settings. This program places special emphasis on implications for interviewing, screening, intake, intervention, and discharge planning. Empirically based research findings and case study examples will be highlighted throughout this training.
