New York, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identifying ways that we can optimize Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) treatment and prevention is an important public health priority. One area for further research is the relationship between sleep and BPD. Disrupted sleep is closely linked to key BPD features, and prior research has found a range of sleep problems among people with BPD. The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) will host a free webinar, “Evaluating the Potential of a Sleep Intervention Among Youth at High-Risk for Borderline Personality Disorder” on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 2:00 pm ET. In this webinar, Erin A. Kaufman, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Utah, will present preliminary results from an ongoing clinical trial examining the relation between sleep quality and BPD symptoms in daily life, as well as the effects of a single-session sleep intervention.
The session will be hosted by Jeffrey Borenstein, M.D., President & CEO of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation and host of the Emmy® nominated television series Healthy Minds.
