Children’s Mental Health Week takes place every February. It was started in 2015 to give a voice to all children and young people and to raise awareness of children and young people’s mental health.
This year, Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week will aim to support the groups and systems surrounding our children. It’s all about encouraging peers, families, schools and communities to create inclusive and nurturing environments, where children and young people feel they belong and can say “This is My Place”.
