Children's Mental Health Week
Children's Mental Health Week
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 seventh year, we hope to encourage more people than ever to get involved and spread the word.
The next Children’s Mental Health Week is taking place on 1-7 February 2021. Next year's theme is Express Yourself. Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good.
All of our free resources can be adapted for use in school, for home-schooling, online lessons or independent learning.
