Mental health Programming Resources

Sleep Disturbances or Sleep Disorder

FACILITATOR
Mental Health Resources are designed to be facilitated by licensed Master or above clinicians.

This page presents specific resources for residents who present with sleep disturbances or diagnosed sleep disorder. Competency Checklists may be used to document outcomes. NOTE: The resources below may be helpful with residents who complain of insomnia or other sleep disturbances, especially as an alternative– or prerequisite-- to the prescription of sleep aids.

These resources are in addition to the standard programming all residents receive:

Core A 130 session model.
A 130 hour resource. In general, the first 30 sessions may be viewed as useful preparation for more intensive mental health treatment.
Core B 50 session model.
An aggression and violence skills curriculum.
