BICS invite you to take part in a virtual mental health workshop designed to help you better understand and support your child or young person’s sleep. This session is aimed at parents and carers of children and young people, but professionals or anyone working with children and young people are also welcome to attend.
Many of the children and young people we work with are increasingly reporting sleep difficulties, including worries, bad dreams, and nightmares that can affect their wellbeing, mood, and day‑to‑day functioning. This workshop will help you make sense of these experiences and understand how they may relate to anxiety and emotional wellbeing.
During the session, you will develop a deeper understanding of your child or young person’s sleep patterns and learn practical strategies to promote healthier sleep. This will include approaches for managing anxiety, responding to bad dreams and nightmares, and creating consistent bedtime routines. We will also explore key elements of sleep science and discuss sleep‑training techniques.
Throughout the workshop, there will be opportunities for reflection and discussion in a supportive environment, along with guidance on further resources and support.
