Children’s Mental Health Week

This week from the 3rd to 9th February it’s Children’s Mental Health Week, which was established to shine a spotlight on the importance of children and young people’s mental health. This year’s theme is “Know Yourself, Grow Yourself”!

The week’s focus is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, with the aim to equip and empower children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.

Know Yourself, Grow Yourself will put a spotlight on how we can build resilience, grow and develop by understanding who we are and what makes us tick.

The more we understand about ourselves, the better we’re prepared to tackle life’s ups and downs. Our in-school counsellors help children and young people in the UK cope with some of the most challenging times in their lives. By helping them get to understand and accept themselves, they start to build self-awareness. This allows them to develop the skills they need to cope with what life throws at them.

During Children’s Mental Health Week we want to celebrate children and young people building resilience, embracing self-awareness and forming strong connections with others.
