Sleep Game - New game to help families get a good night's sleep

About

The NHS in Sussex has teamed up with West Sussex County Council and Focus Games to help reduce the impact of poor sleep on children across the county.

Sleep issues affect around 40% of children and young people, and an increasing number of children are being diagnosed with sleep disorders.

What we do

• In West Sussex, specialist health visitor Ruth Silverman is addressing this issue by looking at innovative ways to help professionals working with children and families to learn more about the importance of sleep for children.
• Ruth, in partnership with Focus Games, has developed The Sleep Game, a board game training resource, designed to help professionals working with children and families improve their knowledge about sleep.
• Parents frequently turn to a range of professionals for advice on their child's health or sleep issues. Providing these groups with practical information and relevant training on children's sleep will help them to improve their knowledge and confidence.
• Focus Games, West Sussex County Council and Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust are delighted to announce that The Sleep Game is now available for purchase by organisations or individuals interested in sleep training.
