About this event
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 eighth year, they hope to encourage more people than ever to get involved and spread the word.
This year’s theme is Growing Together. We will be encouraging children (and adults) to consider how they have grown, and how they can help others to grow.
Growing Together is about growing emotionally and finding ways to help each other grow. Challenges and setbacks can help us to grow and adapt and trying new things can help us to move beyond our comfort zone into a new realm of possibility and potential. However, emotional growth is often a gradual process that happens over time, and sometimes we might feel a bit ‘stuck’.
There are free resources to help children and young people to explore what it means to grow together. All of the ideas can be adapted for use in school, for home-schooling, online lessons or independent learning.
