Please note
The insomnia group treatment program is run at our Como clinic at 400 Canning Hwy.
A minimum of 6 attendees is required for the course to run. In the event that a program does not run, participants will be notified about future group dates.
This program is not designed to treat other sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs, or nightmare disorder. We do not prescribe medications in the program. It is fine to attend the group if you have other sleep disorders, but the focus will be on treating insomnia.
We look forward to seeing you in our Goodnight Insomnia Group Treatment Program.
