Better Nights, Better Days (BNBD) is a program intended to address sleep issues across a range of neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, FASD, cerebral palsy and ADHD. Since last year, it has been collaborating with Kids Brain Health Network to offer monthly webinars to interested trainees, scientists and clinicians.

This academic year, Better Nights, Better Days are once again hosting a BNBD Training Program Webinar Series. The webinars are hosted on the Dalhousie University Brightspace platform. Interested KBHN trainees or health professionals can contact Better Nights, Better Days at bnbd-ndd@dal.ca to obtain a login ID and password so they can access all archived presentations from past years and participate in the webinars scheduled for the coming months.
