Did you know that we’re expanding our approaches around sleep?\u00a0 We have 15 newly trained Sound Sleep staff who will be using Sleep Action (Scotland) resources to teach children and young people about the importance of sleep for emotional and physical wellbeing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"We are also building our team of Sleep Counsellors.\u00a0 In 2024 we trained 12 new counsellors across the council who can work one-to-one with children\/young people and families to assess and create a sleep plan tailored to individual situations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
