Are you struggling to get a good night's sleep?
You’re not alone - about 40% of Australians experience sleep difficulties, which can affect mood, memory, and stress levels.
According to research by Beyond Blue, getting enough sleep is crucial for your mental health.
Join us for this free webinar which will offer you tools and understanding to rest easy, followed by an interactive 30-minute Q&A session.
What to expect
Explore the science behind sleep and common sleep challenges and the factors—like stress, anxiety, and pain—that can impact your rest and discover proven strategies, including cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), to improve sleep quality.
