This live webinar on Trauma and Sleep Disturbances is presented by Jerrod Brown, PhD. 

Adequate sleep is the foundation to 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 webinar 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.  Special emphasis is placed on implications for interviewing, screening, intake, intervention and discharge planning throughout this training. Empirically based research findings and case study examples will be highlighted throughout this training.
