Get Involved
Become a Sleep Talker, and equip yourself to talk about sleep in the caring community.
As a Sleep Talker you will be trained to offer valuable support and engage people in conversations to help promote restorative sleep. Spreading the skills through your network of professionals and volunteers.
What is a Sleep Talker?
A Sleep Talker is a volunteer or professional trained to recognise sleep problems and be able to offer hints and tips on how to get a better night’s sleep. In Lincolnshire we will provide FREE CPD accredited training to facilitate support for carers during our first year.
Who is the Sleep Talkers Training for?
- Organisations supporting carers
- Professional carers
- Befrienders
- Volunteers
- Community connectors & professionals
Why are we focusing on carers?
As unsung heroes, carers are often sleep deprived and this can have a negative impact on their personal wellbeing and mental, physical and emotional capacity. They may not even acknowledge a sleep issue. But at The Sleep Charity we recognise that their well-being is of paramount importance regardless of whether they care for love or money. As an unpaid or paid carer. Let’s support and offer a meaningful conversation, support and solutions.
What to expect
Training will be CDP accredited with access to resources and continuous downloads.
Presented either face to face or online, the training day is expected to take 4-5 hours. There will be pre course learning and post evaluation feedback and on successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate along with access to continuous resources.
Following completion of the Lincolnshire Sleep Hub project, resources and training will still be available from the Sleep Talkers website.
