Why is Sleep Important?
Dr. Reut Gruber—McGill University & Douglas Mental Health University Institute
(Feb. 9th) 7-8pm
As parents of teens, we have seen first hand the effect of the pandemic on their sleep cycles. There is a recognizable link between sleep patterns and the mental/physical health of young people. While healthy sleep is a great tool to help weather the coronavirus storm, sleep deprivation can have a negative impact on both academic performance and mood. In this webinar we will look closely at the specific barriers to healthy sleep in adolescence, and outline strategies to deal with these barriers.

Join us in a discussion about understanding the impact that loss has on our kids, the various ways they process their grief and ways in which we as parents can best support them through this process.
