Children's Mental Health Week was first launched in 2015 to shine a spotlight on the importance of children's and young people’s mental health. Now in its tenth year, the hope is to encourage more people than ever to get involved and spread the word. The theme this year is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself and runs from 3rd-9th February.
This year, we've partnered with some fantastic organisations to bring you a great selection of resources, consolidated in one free pack, to help support your students in understanding their mental health.
Beyond are a youth mental charity that exists to improve young people’s mental health in the UK. They have a wealth of resources on their website and run the UK’s only mental health festival for schools and colleges on 5th February that is free for schools to sign up to. Beyond is powered by an impassioned youth board that is determined to instill new attitudes and are the heart and soul of the charity.
