This capstone project explores the relationship between trauma and sleep health, with an emphasis on the role of community-based education in promoting trauma-informed care. An educational presentation was delivered to professionals serving survivors of interpersonal violence, and participant feedback suggested increased knowledge and a strong intention to incorporate sleep health concepts into future practice. The project highlights sleep as a modifiable factor that may support long-term trauma recovery and underscores the value of integrating evidence-based sleep education into community settings.
