About the session
Approximately 25% of children and adolescents suffer from a sleep problem at some point prior to adulthood. Over 95% of child and adolescent psychiatrists prescribe at least one sleep medication monthly, yet numerous studies show that Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) works just as well as medication, is portable and extremely cost-effective, and has longer lasting benefits. Unfortunately, however, most mental health practitioners are not trained in CBT-I.
The goals of CBT-I are to alter the factors that perpetuate insomnia and include:
1. Behavioral training in stimulus control, sleep restriction, and sleep hygiene;
2. Cognitive training in managing dysfunctional thoughts and maladaptive behaviors related to sleep, such as unrealistic expectations and rumination over the consequences of insomnia;
3. Physiological factors, such as hyperarousal and somatic and mental tension.
This presentation will review when and for whom CBT-I is an appropriate treatment intervention; the six primary components of CBT-I; and how to design and manage CBT-I treatment.
Learning outcomes
1. Identify when and for whom Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an appropriate intervention.
2. Describe the six primary components of CBT-I.
3. Design CBT-I treatment plans for a variety of child, adolescent, and young adult patients diagnosed with insomnia.
Who should attend
The event will be beneficial for mental health professionals, researchers, those involved in designing services for young people, and those interested in mental health.
