In this episode of BMedical's Science from the Field podcast, we explore the exceptional work of Associate Professor Fatima Yaqoot and Roslyn Von Senden and their 'Let's Yarn About Sleep' Program. Their phenomenal efforts aim to enhance sleep health among First Nations youth and communities in Australia.
The multi-talented Associate Professor Fatima Yaqoot, an expert in pharmacology, epidemiology, and sleep science, unveils her fascinating journey towards becoming a sleep health specialist and her realisation during her PhD about the essential role of sleep in maintaining physical health.
Roslyn Von Sinden, a proud Kalkadoon woman from Mount Isa, relates her impactful story of how her community's struggles with prevalent suicide and mental health issues turned her into a sleep health advocate. Serving as the Community Engagement Manager, Roslyn's efforts aim to enhance health equity and launch co-designed health education programmes that empower First Nations people to their complete health potential.
The podcast also provides insight into the 'Let's Yarn About Sleep' initiative's core aims. These include increasing community awareness about sleep health, equipping local service providers with training, and curbing wait times for sleep health care access.
