Sleep Course
The Sleep Course previously developed and evaluated in Australia will be delivered to clients meeting participation criteria tailored to PSP. The Sleep Course has been slightly adapted for PSP by including relevant statistics and literature pertaining to sleep disturbance in PSP. The Sleep Course has four lessons and includes optional therapist support for up to 8 - 12 weeks. Should clients request support, clients will be contacted by their therapist by secure emails on their designated check-in dates. The therapist also reviews client progress in the Course and emails clients on a designated check in date. Sometimes the therapist will call the client. Phone calls are typically made if a client is not logging in or if the therapist feels that a phone call would be a helpful way to provide support.
