Sleep Support
North Lanarkshire Council are offering support to parents, families and children who may be anxious, stressed, worried and emotional for themselves and their loved ones.
We recognise that these anxieties can greatly affect ‘sleep’ which is a natural process. We all need sleep and our health and wellbeing could be greatly reduced by not getting enough sleep, particularly at these challenging times.
To help cope with these stresses, support through SLEEP COUNSELLING will be offered to those in need and a qualified sleep counsellor will be at hand to answer questions, suggest ideas, offer visuals and strategies or even just be a listening ear to help reduce any anxieties to our parents and families that lead to poor sleep hygiene.
