Adolescence can be a period of significant sleep disruptions and can contribute to excessive tiredness and family conflict.

This Expert Insights session covers sleep changes during this developmental period. We discuss established as well as emerging interventions for sleep. There is also a focus on working with families/caregivers, the use of digital technology, and working with or around demanding school schedules to improve adolescent sleep.

Exposure therapy is a core component of treatment in childhood anxiety disorders. However, research findings suggest that most clinicians in the real-world (not part of research clinics) do not use it in treatment. 
This podcasts addresses the efficacy of exposure therapy in children with anxiety disorders and the barriers to implementation in everyday clinical practice. Moreover, the panel will also introduce strategies for effective delivery of this gold standard treatment to children, families, and schools.
