Sleep and Mental Health in Children and Teens: Behavioral Interventions to End Bedtime Problems and Help Kids Fall and Stay Asleep
April 7, 2023 – 9:00am to 5:00pm CDT
It’s not just fatigue and decreased energy. Sleep deprivation can have serious negative effects on kids’ behavior, performance, and relationships.
It can show up as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity … poor grades … irritability and argumentativeness … conflict with siblings and friends … mood and anxiety symptoms … lack of energy for sports and other activities.
Miss a sleep disorder and you may misdiagnose your client. If you don’t address sleep, you’ll be unlikely to shift your clients into the relief they deserve – leaving them exhausted and struggling.
Join Catherine Darley, ND, a leader in integrative sleep medicine who has helped people of all ages sleep well without medication, in this dynamic 1-day seminar designed to help you:
- Customize an ideal sleep environment for children and teens
- Get accurate and useful sleep diaries to plan treatment
- Transition kids between awake and asleep using wind-down activities, light exposure, and cognitive strategies
- Include the family in treatment, and weigh in on issues like sleep training strategies and co-sleeping arrangements
- And much more!
Register today to get the skills you need to make your treatment plans more effective and get the kids in your practice the rest they need!

Sleep and Mental Health: Non-Medication Interventions to Restore Sleep Quality and Improve Clinical Outcomes
April 19, 2023 – 8:00am to 4:00pm CDT
How many of your clients have sleep issues?
Or maybe the real question is how many of your client don’t?
Where we used to think mental health problems caused insomnia, we now know that the relationship is more circular than casual. Risky and addictive, drugs aren’t the answer. But without addressing sleep issues, and intervening in this vicious cycle, your treatment plans for mental health issues will likely be less effective and yield less successful outcomes.
You CAN help your clients improve their sleep and make your treatment of mental health issues more effective than ever before … and you don’t need to be a sleep expert to do it!
Whether you work with anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar or any other disorders, this one-day training will give you the sleep assessment tools and treatment techniques you need to guide clients out of their sleep deprived world so you can improve clinical outcomes.
Attend this training and discover how you can:
- Naturally improve sleep in clients without the use of addictive medication
- Identify sleep disorders and differentiate them from mental health symptoms
- Improve sleep for clients of all ages – from kids to adults
- Snap clients out of sleep-depriving habits with behavior changing exercises

The Nature Cure: Evidence-Based Medicine for Mental Health – Cascadia Training for Professional Development (cascadia-training.com)
April 20th, 2023 | 9:00am – 1:30pm, Pacific Time
As human beings spend more and more time inside our built environments, we’re stepping away from the healing power of nature. This is a big loss! Human beings evolved in natural settings, and time in nature is one of the most stress-relieving activities we can enjoy. Nature cure can be part of an effective plan for ADHD, depression, as well as the pandemic’s resulting lack of social connections. Research reveals that time spent in nature therapy results in decreases in antidepressant prescriptions. Childhood nature exposure even predicts high levels of adult mental health and quality of life. In other health domains, increased nature exposure is associated with decreased mortality and cardiovascular disease, while also increasing heart rate variability and the positive impact of exercise. Many types of nature exposure are healing – everything from having indoor houseplants and place sitting, to gardening and forest bathing. Use the nature prescription to increase your patients’ well-being.

The Connection Between Sleep and Suicide
May 18th, 2023 | 9:00am – 11:00am, Pacific Time
A wide variety of sleep disorders contribute to suicide and self-harm. Those disorders include not only nightmares and insomnia, but also obstructive sleep apnea and narcolepsy. The relationship persists for people from adolescents to elders and impacts both men and women–although there are gender differences in the relationship. Suicide rates are higher at night than during the day per wakeful person. Sleep health assessments and appropriate sleep disorder interventions may be an effective way to reduce suicide risk and self-harm.
