Children’s Mental Health Week 1st – 7th February 2021

By

 Around three children in every primary school class has a mental health problem, and many more struggle with challenges from bullying to bereavement.

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 seventh year, they hope to encourage more people than ever to get involved and spread the word.

2021’s campaign 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. Therefore it is important to remember that being able to express yourself, doesn’t mean you’re the best at something, but instead is about showing who you are and how you see the world in a way that makes you feel positive about yourself.
