Children’s Mental Health Week 4th - 10th February 2019


Place2Be launched their 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 fifth year, the campaign focus this year is taking steps towards being “Healthy: Inside and Out”. This is particularly important as when we think about healthy living, we tend to focus on looking after our bodies – our physical wellbeing – through food, being active and getting enough sleep. However, in order to be healthy overall, it’s important that we look after our minds – our mental wellbeing – too.
Our bodies and minds are actually very closely linked, so things that we do to improve our physical wellbeing can help our mental wellbeing as well. When we take steps to be Healthy: Inside and Out, it helps us to feel better in ourselves, focus on what we want to do and deal with difficult times.
Therefore, reaching out and educating as many people as possible in regards to ways of identifying and supporting children’s mental health needs is important to support children’s development.
