🌈 Children’s Mental Health Week
Looking after our children’s mental wellbeing is just as important as looking after their physical health. Today is a reminder to pause, check in, and open up conversations with the young people in our lives.

This year’s theme encourages children to express themselves, share how they feel, and explore healthy ways to cope with life’s ups and downs. Small moments of connection-listening, talking, playing, or simply being present can make a big difference.

Let’s work together to help every child feel heard, supported, and valued. 💛

Place2Be is excited to announce that the theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2026 is This is My Place. Make sure to mark your calendars for 9-15 February...
