**PLEASE NOTE – these are uncertain times for everyone, and increasingly challenging for NHS services. We are delighted that workshops are selling out, however, we have seen an increase in attendees being uncontactable for their sessions. Whilst we appreciate each day brings new obstacles in these times, we do ask that you plan your days accordingly to be able to attend a booked workshop. If you cannot attend a booked workshop, please do cancel 24hrs in advance by phoning 020 3513 6264, otherwise spaces are unavailable for people who really need them during this time. We are extremely appreciative for your cooperation whilst we strive to reach every Wandsworth resident who would like to access our services.**

Having a good night sleep shouldn’t feel like a one-off. Yet, for so many of us, it is. The number of people experiencing sleep difficulties has increased significantly during the current pandemic. This workshop aims to help you develop a greater understanding of sleep, why sleep is essential for maintaining your wellbeing and how your mind can affect the quality of your sleep. We will explore several practical strategies which can be used to overcome sleep problems such as insomnia. There will be an opportunity to practice relaxation techniques to help you unwind at the end of your day and develop an improved sleep pattern.

This workshop will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams. It is free to attend for all residents of the London Borough of Wandsworth or those registered with a Wandsworth GP who are over the age of 18. Our Wellbeing team is focused entirely on improving the emotional, physical, spiritual and overall wellbeing of the residents of Wandsworth. We want to work towards providing a more inclusive and socially adapted service for the borough whilst lowering the stigma and discrimination attached to mental health & wellbeing and the services that exist to support these areas of our lives.

By learning about sleep management in a confidential setting, this wellbeing workshop aims to help you find solutions and techniques to overcome barriers and learn practical skills to improve your own wellbeing. Prior to the workshop, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire aimed at ensuring we offer you all the support you require. If you have queries regarding this, please speak to the Practitioner at the start of the session. We all have mental health, it's ok to talk.
