I’ve mentioned it a few times on the blog<\/a>. Flinders also has a long history of sleep research and treatments and the FHMRI Sleep team<\/a> offer a wealth of information.<\/p>\n I saw in my email today that a respected online mental health clinic, MindSpot<\/a>, now have a free Sleep Course<\/a>.<\/p>\n The MindSpot Sleep Course<\/a> is an 8-week online treatment program designed to help Australian residents over 18 years old understand sleep mechanisms and develop practical, evidence-based skills for better sleep. The course aims to help people fall asleep faster, increase sleep duration, improve daytime energy, and establish sustainable sleep habits. It includes optional weekly check-ins with trained mental health professionals and requires a commitment of at least four hours a week. Participants will learn about sleep regulation, effective techniques for improving sleep quality, strategies for managing sleep-related worries, methods to reduce daytime fatigue, and skills to address environmental factors affecting sleep. The course incorporates exercises, real-world examples, and additional resources for specific challenges, guiding participants through small, sustainable changes for significant improvements in sleep quality and overall well-being.<\/em><\/p>\n While you are there, you might check out some of their other courses as well<\/a>. MindSpot is one of several established online CBT focused clinics<\/a> in Australia offering free and low-cost support for different mental health and wellbeing related challenges. These services, which have been going strong for over a decade now, are likely to get a further boost from increased government mental health spending.<\/p>\n Online CBT courses, built by reputable institutions, offer a pretty good way to gain valuable knowledge and insights into how to support your mental health, and gain relief from different mental health struggles.<\/p>\n Some use them as a starting point for seeking help. Others use them as an adjunct to therapy or support from a GP.<\/p>\n To learn more, visit the MindSpot<\/a> website.
