The purpose of the Family Help Sleep Program is to deliver, primary care mental health services to children and their families in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Approximately 80 children (6-12 years of age)suffering from mild to moderate sleep onset latency and/or bedtime resistance will be randomized.
The intervention is delivered from a distance, using an educational handbook and telephone consultation with a trained paraprofessional "coach" who is supervised by a licensed health care professional. The telephone coach delivers consistent care based on written protocols, with on-going evaluation by a professional team.
