Disruptive behavior (e.g., oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder) and attention (e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) disorders are characterized by symptoms of aggression, angry outbursts, antisocial behaviors, attention problems, defiance of authority figures, impulsivity, and uncooperative and defiant behaviors. In combination with other environmental, family, socio-emotional, and physical health factors, these multi-faceted conditions can contribute to a host of daily life functioning impairments for children. One impairment of particular concern is sleep disturbance, which has a significantly higher prevalence among children diagnosed with disruptive and attention disorders than in the general population. This training is designed to increase understanding of the causes, consequences, and interventions for sleep disturbances among children diagnosed with disruptive behavior and attention disorders. Empirically-based research findings will be presented throughout this training.

Executive functioning is a complex neuropsychological construct involving several higher-order cognitive processes. These processes guide, direct, monitor, and control behaviors, cognitions (e.g., problem-solving and goal pursuit), and adaptive skills and functions (i.e., flexibly adjusting to a changing social environment). Executive functioning capabilities influence multiple domains including school readiness, success and learning, interpersonal relationships, social competence, psychiatric health, and employment abilities. Sleep dysfunction has been known to negatively impact executive functioning capabilities. This training is designed to increase understanding of the causes, consequences, and interventions for persons impacted by executive functioning impairments and sleep disturbances. Empirically-based research findings will be presented throughout this training.

Persons exposed to traumatic experiences at any stage in life can experience a wide array of consequences. One common consequence associated with trauma exposure is sleep-related disturbances. In fact, individuals with a history of trauma are disproportionately likely to suffer sleep disturbances relative to the general population. Regardless of the cause, achieving adequate sleep is imperative to optimal cognitive, mental health, and physical health functioning, especially for individuals impacted by mental health and substance use disorders. Designed for professionals working in mental health and substance abuse treatment settings, this training provides attendees with a working understanding of the definitions, causes, and consequences of trauma and its impact on overall sleep health. With complete diagnostic information, awareness, and understanding of the interrelationship between trauma exposure and sleep disturbances, behavioral health professionals can better develop treatment, intervention, case management, and family education plans to address sleep disturbances in impacted populations. Other relevant topics of interest covered include executive function, adaptive functioning, adverse childhood experiences, attachment, substance use disorders, and mental illness. All aforementioned discussions are grounded in empirical research findings.
