The Peterborough Family Health Team (PFHT) will lead this research-based session on sleep and insomnia. This workshop introduces strategies and explores how thoughts and behaviours interact to interrupt sleep. CBT-Insomnia is the treatment of choice for people who experience issues with insomnia or poor sleep. If after attending the workshop you would like to dive deeper, the PFHT offers a 6-week follow up program that provides more in-depth education and strategies.
