Half of the participants will be randomized into the experimental arm of this study. A study clinician will call each family approximately 4 times over 2 months. The study clinician will conduct suicide risk screening and further assessment and safety planning where deemed necessary. The TAILOR intervention will then be administered. TAILOR includes the assessment of existing sleep problems and sleep practices and education on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies for insomnia, with Motivational Interviewing (MI) as the communication style.
