Sleep InterventionA Trauma-Informed Sleep Intervention for Children in Foster Care

Inclusion Criteria:

1. All non-relative foster, kinship and adoptive foster families with a child between the ages 6 and 10 years who have been in the home for one month.
2. A caregiver or child-reported behavioral sleep problem at least twice a week.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Children who are considered 'medically fragile' or with serious medical issues/conditions requiring routine care, supervision/monitoring and/or regular use of equipment (e.g., paralysis, tracheostomy, blindness, cerebral palsy). We will not exclude children with non-serious medical conditions that are well-managed (e.g., asthma, diabetes, HIV).
2. Children with significant developmental delays or intellectual disability who would have difficulty comprehending and/or engaging in treatment. Consistent with practices in community settings, the study team will consider the reliability of child responses during the initial assessment to identify children who meet this criterion (rather than standardized test scores).
3. Children with a confirmed or suspected medical sleep disorder requiring medical treatment (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy). We will immediately refer these children for services as necessary.
4. Foster parent and/or child who is a non-fluent English speaker.
5. Current foster parent or child suicidality or self-harm behaviors (i.e., suicidal ideation, intent, and/or plan, cutting, burning, etc).
