Sleep Support Training for Professionals

Sleep Wise
CPD-Accredited Training
for Professionals

Practical, evidence-based training that equips professionals to identify and support sleep problems in children and young people.

Why Sleep Support Matters

Sleep difficulties are one of the most common but least addressed health concerns for children and young people. Poor sleep is linked to behaviour problems, reduced concentration, lower educational outcomes, higher accident risk, and a serious impact on mental health and family wellbeing. Despite this, access to effective treatment remains limited.

The facts (NHS England, 2023):

Research shows the issue is not confined to a small group but cuts across age ranges and levels of need. The following groups are living with a sleep problem:

37%

8–16 year olds

76%

8–16 year olds with a probable mental health disorder

64%

17–23 year olds

91%

7–23 year olds with a probable mental health disorder

Our Course Suite

To respond to this growing need, Hunrosa has developed a suite of CPD-accredited training programmes. Each course is designed for professionals in specific sectors; education, health, and local authority, with additional options for parents, carers, and those looking to refresh their knowledge.

All courses are grounded in behavioural sleep medicine and delivered by experienced NHS sleep specialists. They provide practical, evidence-based strategies that professionals can apply straight away to support children, young people, and families.
