Sleep & Self Care

The approach of this workshop is not to cure insomnia, rather it is about self-management techniques to help you to tackle your sleep problems, increase your satisfaction with sleep, and deal effectively with sleep difficulties when they occur.

Classroom safety

The wellbeing and safety of our staff, volunteers and learners are paramount. Immediately before you attend, please ensure you have no COVID-19 symptoms. Also, please take time to read our guidelines for attending at this time. If you have any questions, please contact us at bristol.wellbeing.college@second-step.co.uk or 0117 914 5498.
