Sleep & Rest Program: On-Demand
Learn practical tools, strategies and practices for better sleep and rest. This course is on-demand, supporting you to learn at your own pace, in the comfort of your own home.
Sleep and Rest is an on-demand program, designed to be accessible to anyone who is struggling with accessing rest in their lives.
Please note that this course is foundational by design, and is most appropriate for those experiencing mild-moderate levels of stress. It focuses on accessible neuroscience, foundational rest and sleep practices, and evidence-based practices for improved rest.
Whilst all content is trauma-informed and mental health aware, if you are looking for a course that focuses specifically on chronic stress, burnout, and secondary traumatic distress, check out our Recover offering.

This course is designed for people with mild-moderate sleep and rest disruptions. We are cautious about recommending to those with insomnia, as generally speaking, long-term and significant sleep disruption requires more specialised support than this course offers.
Whilst you are welcome to purchase the course and experiment with what is offered, it may not provide the level of support required for insomnia.
In terms of chronic stress, some elements of this course may be helpful. However, our Recover course is specifically designed for people experiencing chronic and prolonged stress.
