Clinical psychology graduate students Chantelle Castelino, Nadine Ghanem, and Taranjot Bedi-Padda, presented a workshop on Rest Assured: Exploring the Importance of Sleep for Well-being for the General Public at the Kitchener Central Library.
The students provided an informative and engaging workshop. Quality sleep is essential for maintaining good mental health, but stress, busy schedules, and daily habits can often get in the way. The presenters shared research about the importance of sleep and how it impacts our wellbeing and daily lives, as well as practical, evidence-based sleep-hygiene strategies.
They did a great job translating research to a general audience and incorporating some useful takeaways. The talk was well-received and the audience was very engaged.
These opportunities are a wonderful demonstration of psychology's ability to translate knowledge and research into practical and helpful information for everyone. We continue to be grateful for the strong community partnerships that allow for these opportunities.
