Helping Children, Young People & Adults
We are very proud of the specialist sleep services we offer to those struggling with sleep issues. As both services are commissioned by West Lancashire Integrated Care Board all referrals have to be registered with a West Lancashire GP.
Adult Service
- The workshop is arranged over the course of four weeks. During weeks 1, 2 and 3 a one-hour workshop is held. On week 4 an individual 1:1 session takes place with the Sleep Therapist to discuss workshop feedback how the client is implementing the changes/insights they have learnt during the course of the workshop.
- All workshops will include a maximum of 6 adults. The Sleep Therapist will guide each session and will use shared experience and peer support from the candidates.
How do I get referred?
