SJOG has recently collaborated with Sleep Action, the UK’s oldest sleep charity and a leading provider of sleep support, training and resources, to produce a range of resources specifically for autistic people.

This collaboration was initiated in response to requests from parents of autistic children who we support through our Here to Help project, and have identified sleep as a priority area.

Together we have created a series of fact sheets, including general guidance on good sleep practices, as well as tailored advice on sleep for autistic adults and teens, parents of autistic children, parents of autistic teens, and the wider family unit.

SJOG's Autism and Suicide Prevention service manager, Rachael, has been working with Sleep Action to develop these resources.  "We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Sleep Action on something that will make a real difference. The feedback we've received clearly shows that these resources are much needed, and we’re excited to share them with people."

You can access these resources on our Here to Help platform here:  https://here2help.uk/help-someone-else/
