Presented by Joel Guarna, PhD
Hosted by Psychology Specialists of Maine

Poor sleep and insomnia can contribute to depression and anxiety and to chronic health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity—not to mention burnout among the very health care and behavioral health professionals that are poised to help with these conditions. Insomnia medications are often habit-forming, have troubling side effects, and merely mask the symptoms of sleeplessness rather than treat the underlying problems. We all have had clients who have suffered from a poor night's sleep. What role do we play in helping to curb the effects of sleeplessness and insomnia? A variety of behavioral approaches have been proven effective in treating insomnia and difficulties with sleep. However, many clinicians lack the training and confidence to work effectively with these issues. This presentation will emphasize ways to work with your existing clients who struggle with sleep so you do not need to disrupt your care by referring them out. $60 (early registration rate of $55 through 10/14) | 2 CEs or $35 | 1 CE.
