Psychology in the Pub: A Snapshot into the Science behind Sleep

Good sleep is continually promoted as a key factor in maintaining both physical and mental health, but what exactly does good sleep look like? A snapshot into the science behind sleep will give an overview of what typical sleep looks like, evidence based facts on what constitutes “good” sleep, and debunk common sleep myths! This interactive talk will also provide practical tips on how to improve sleep habits to get a better night’s sleep. The actionable skills you will learn can be immediately implemented at home so you can function more effectively and facilitate better mental health.

This talk is part of a series of “Psychology in the Pub” presentations, where psychologists present on a range of interesting and engaging topics related to mental health and psychological issues. Emma and Jess look forward to welcoming you to a fun and relaxing afternoon of learning!

Well Minds Work understand the importance of maintaining good mental health during the perinatal period. That’s why we have put together some perinatal mental health workshops aimed at teaching people about the signs and symptoms of perinatal anxiety and depression, as well as some mental health based coping strategies that will benefit all expecting and existing parents!

These workshops will be starting in July and you can read more about them by accessing our event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1655952384872897. Please get in touch if interested!

On Friday Well Minds Work had the privilege of presenting at the Tasmanian Association of Vocational Rehabilitation Providers – TAVRP annual Symposium – The Dark Side of Rehab! Our presentation focused on how to support employees who are being bullied in the workplace.

We were lucky to present alongside many other professionals in the field this year, with a strong focus on psychosocial hazards in the workplace. If you want to find out more about how to manage workplace psychosocial hazards through psychosocial risk assessment, please get in contact with us!
