Sleep Success Programme

Need more support?


You can self-refer to our Sleep Success programme, where you will be supported by a trained Family Hubs Engagement Practitioner to develop good sleep habits.
Ongoing support will be given in groups during a 2-hour session for up to 5 weeks.
The programme supports you to look at what current sleep habits are in place and think about if any changes could be made by a process of self-reflection.


Our team provide support throughout the process which is gentle and non-judgemental.
