We wanted to bring to your attention that this week is Children’s Mental Health Week (3 – 9 February 2025). The theme of the week is “Know yourself, grow yourself”, with a view to encouraging young people to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.

Place2Be have helpful resources for the week, for both schools and families, which can be found on their website. Included here are a pack full of tips and activities for your school to take part in for Children’s Mental Health Week, as well as slides and guides which can be used to deliver an assembly or in class session for primary, secondary (11-14) and secondary (14+). We hope you find these resources helpful to encourage young people to be aware of and reflect on their thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Anna Freud also have a toolkit of resources for primary and secondary which may be of help.

We hope you have a wonderful week, full of reflection and awareness!
