Mental health is so important to all of us and we have been reminded of that during Children’s Mental Health Week from February 1-7.

Children’s Mental Health Charity Place2Be launched the first ever Children’s Mental Health Week back in 2015 to ‘shine a spotlight on the importance of children and young people’s mental health.’

This year’s theme has been all about ‘expressing yourself’ - encouraging children and young people to find ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas through creativity – perhaps through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make them feel good.

There is more information about the charity here and information on how to support a child or young person who may be struggling with their mental health.
