Welcome to The Sleep Health Organization

There’s more to sleep than sleep.

WHO WE ARE

At The Sleep Health Organization, our mission is to empower pediatric care providers and parents with comprehensive evidence-based knowledge and resources to optimize the sleep health of children. We are committed to fostering a community that prioritizes sleep as a fundamental pillar of child development and overall well-being through the provision of evidence-based information, innovative training programs, ongoing support, and accessible and engaging resources.  

Through our commitment to education, collaboration, and empowerment, we envision a future where every child enjoys restful and restorative sleep, fostering their physical cognitive, and emotional well-being. We know that together we can create a generation of well-rested children who thrive, achieve their full potential, and experience the joy of healthy sleep throughout their lives. 

Are you a pediatric sleep consultant?

This program was created for you.

The program contains a signature method that outlines a comprehensive approach to common sleep issues and conditions. The SHIP compass builds on the already existing skills of a sleep consultant and provides an algorithmic step-by-step approach to assess and manage sleep health in children 0-5 years. There are physician-created scripts to discuss many topics so that you won’t ever feel uncomfortable or unsure about how to address issues you detect in your work with families.

It will help you:

  • Establish greater credibility and trust with families and healthcare professionals.

  • Distinguish yourself in the field of pediatric sleep consultancy.

  • Expand your education on sleep science and evidence-based sleep health knowledge.
