SUMMARY:Circadian Rhythm Misalignment: Criminal Justice and Forensic Mental Health Implications
DESCRIPTION:Circadian rhythm is a daily (i.e.\, twenty-four-hour) internal biological clock that plays a critical role in human health. The daily rhythm of this system is maintained by a molecular process that resets the circadian clock each day through retinal contact to light. This pattern is demonstrated by almost every cell within the human body\, comprising a hierarchical multi-oscillator system that is regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Misalignment of the circadian rhythm can manifest itself in different ways including inappropriately timed sleep-wakefulness or misaligned timing of central and peripheral rhythms. Problems with sleep quality\, daytime alertness\, poor health outcomes\, and behavioral dysregulation are often associated with circadian rhythm misalignment. Emerging research suggests that the role of circadian rhythm misalignment in the development of problematic and antisocial behaviors should be further explored. Designed for professionals working in criminal justice\, forensic mental health\, and legal settings\, this training provides attendees with a working understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and interventions associated with circadian rhythm misalignment among criminal justice and forensic mental health-based populations. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this training. \nJerrod Brown\, Ph.D.\, M.A.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, is a professor\, trainer\, researcher\, and consultant with multiple years of experience teaching collegiate courses.
