Activity:  Scaling-out Better Nights, Better Days to help children and families go from surviving to thriving during COVID-19! In anticipation of World Sleep Day, on March 18, 2021 at 7:00pm ET/8:00pm AT, join our expert panel of researchers from the Better Nights, Better Days During COVID-19 team to learn how the Better Nights, Better Days online program can help you to improve your child’s sleep as we launch our Canada wide study. Better Nights, Better Days is an evidence-based eHealth program to support parents of typically developing children ages 1-10 years old who experience sleeping problems including difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking too early. This program has recently been adapted for parents to use during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this virtual event, our expert panel of researchers will share the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep of children and their parents, how the program works, what adaptations have been included for the current COVID-19 context, and how parents can access this evidence-based program for free. Attendees will be eligible to win a cozy and relaxing door prize!
