Sleep Support

If your child is having sleep difficulties there are lots of services to help. 

Sleep support for children and families across Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool and Redcar continues to be available, offering tailored support that looks beyond sleep difficulties to consider the child’s wider emotional, developmental, and wellbeing needs. This holistic focus recognises that sleep is closely connected with family life, neurodiversity, mental health, and everyday routines. We want to reassure families and professionals that sleep support remains strong and has grown—evolving to better meet individual needs and deliver lasting, positive outcomes.
