About Children's Mental Health Week

Place2Be launched the first-ever Children's Mental Health Week in 2015 to empower, equip and give a voice to every child in the UK. It has since become a well recognised event, with hundreds of schools and colleges participating across the UK (and beyond!) as well as hundreds of children, parents and carers.

Every year for the week, Place2Be’s expert team develops free resources to help people participate in the week devoted to children's mental health. Our highly adaptable Children's Mental Health Week resources include things like:

• assembly guides
• group activities
• show and tell activities
• top tips
• fundraising packs 
• posters.

We also provide our resources in the Welsh language for schools participating in Wales.
