Webinar: A Perfect Storm: Managing Sleep Issues and Promoting Sleep Health in Detained Youth
June 26 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
All adolescents experience developmental changes that affect their sleep regulation. Add to those normal changes environmental factors specific to the carceral setting, co-occurring risk factors for sleep problems in this population (mental health issues, substance use, etc.), and the potential link between poor sleep and risk behaviors, and you have a perfect storm of sleep problems. Medication is not always the answer. Learn recommendations for managing sleep concerns in detained youth that go beyond sleep medications to include behavioral, environmental, and scheduling approaches.
