Title: Designing Sleepwell for Reach

This session will highlight some of the stories behind building Sleepwell as a knowledge mobilization program, which aims to increase awareness and use of self-management strategies for insomnia while reducing reliance on medications.  

Presenters: Drs. David Gardner and Andrea Murphy

Drs. David Gardner and Andrea Murphy are professors with the Department of Psychiatry and College of Pharmacy at Dalhousie University. The scholarly work is focused on improving mental health care through research, education, and implementation.
