Koala North West exists to provide children and their families with tailored practical and emotional support that improves wellbeing, reduces isolation and supports both children and care-givers to thrive.
Koala Sleep Service
The ‘Koala North West Sleep Service’ is aimed at supporting parents of a child between 2 and 11 years, where the child has difficulty settling at night, frequently wakes throughout the night or wakes early to start the day.
What do the experts say?
Lack of sleep can cause a number of issues including poor behaviour, lack of concentration, and affect social, emotional and physical development.
What's it about?
- You are the expert on your child, so the ‘Koala North West Sleep Service’ is all about our Sleep Practitioner working alongside you in promoting positive sleep outcomes.
- Our behavioural approach to sleep is flexible and designed to meet individual family’s needs. Support can be accessed by having 1-1 individual support over the phone or a 6-week course where there is the opportunity to meet other parents dealing with similar issues.
- We understand how difficult life can be when your child has a problem sleeping, so our Sleep Practitioner visiting you to discuss your needs and what we can offer, could be a first positive step.
