Children’s Mental Health Week is an annual event that takes place in February and is designed to raise awareness and understanding of children’s mental health. This year’s theme is “Let’s Connect”
Children’s Mental Health Charity Place2Be launched the first-ever Children’s Mental Health Week in 2015 to shine a spotlight on the importance of children and young people’s mental health.
Now in its ninth year, they hope to encourage more people than ever to get involved, spread the word, and raise vital funds for children’s mental health.
Every year, Place2Be’s expert team develops resources to help people participate in the week. From activity ideas and assembly guides to top tips and videos, their free resources will help you explore mental health and wellbeing with the children and young people around you.
Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections for all, during Children’s Mental Health Week – and beyond. People thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for everyone’s wellbeing.
For Children’s Mental Health Week 2023, they are encouraging people to connect with others in healthy, rewarding and meaningful ways. To find out more visit their website at https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk
