Short Bio: Teresa Rebelo Pinto – Sleep & Psychology Clinic is an innovative and pioneer project in Portugal focused on the connection between Sleep and mental health. Our main mission is to promote Sleep Psychology as a specialized area, always in articulation with other areas, adopting a holistic view of health and personal development, valuing prevention.
Our multidisciplinary team promotes sleep quality and psychological well-being, through consultation (different clinical specialties), education and consulting activities, adopting a customized attitude with each of our clients.
Activity: Our Clinic organized and collaborated in several initiatives in the context of the World Sleep Day. The activities developed included:
1) “Sleep is not a waste of time!” – Advertising Campaign:
– From March 16th to 23rd, messages were disseminated on newspapers, medical newsletters, social magazines and muppies/billboards scattered throughout the cities of Lisbon and Porto (Portugal), encouraging the population to reflect on the importance of sleep and its surveillance (attached image). The awareness campaign was designed and carried out by our Clinic with the sponsoring of Gasoxmed (home respiratory care company).
– Flyers’ distribution in the streets and other sleep centers and clinics.
– Giveaway of two sleep diaries for the social media followers who took the most original pictures with our muppies in the street (https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17916641411240627/).
