WOULD MY TEEN BENEFIT FROM A CONSULTATION?
The DECODE Insomnia Clinic provides virtual OHIP-covered consultation for teens (13+) in Ontario, Canada with chronic insomnia and sleep timing concerns. A consultation is recommended when your teen is open to learning more about their sleep concern. Please note that parent participation in the consultation is requested and strongly recommended. After consultation, both paid and OHIP-covered options for treatment are available.
