🚸🧠Children’s Mental Health Week - 9th – 15th February 2026🧠🚸

Children's Mental Health Week takes place every February and first 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.

75% of mental illnesses start before a person’s 18th birthday. With most long-term mental health problems beginning in adolescence, there’s a growing need for support for young people. In Children’s Mental Health Week, we highlight the importance of mental health support from a young age.

Here are some of the useful resources and e-Learning to support with children's mental health:

🤗 Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and wind to join us for our primary care education evening at CBC Health! 🤗

It was a fantastic session with local neurology consultant Dr Martin Duddy delivering an engaging talk on MS, Seizures and Migraines. A huge thank you to Dr Duddy, and to Pfizer for sponsorship of the event. The hot buffet from Saji's restaurant was excellent as always! 🍛👏

We’re now planning future sessions and would love to partner with organisations that support primary care. If your company is interested in sponsoring a future event, please get in touch! 📧📞
