This week is Children’s Mental Health Week- it gives us time to reflect, raise awareness, start important conversations, and highlight the importance of emotional wellbeing in children & young people’s lives as we remind every child that their thoughts and feelings matter.
Children’s mental health is just as important as their physical health because it shapes how they think, feel, learn, and build relationships. When children are supported emotionally, they develop confidence, resilience, and the ability to cope with challenges in healthy ways.
Promoting positive mental health from a young age can help prevent future difficulties and create a strong foundation for lifelong wellbeing.
For Children’s Mental Health Week, we are reminded that listening to children, valuing their feelings, and providing safe, supportive environments can make a lasting difference in their lives.
If your child is struggling with their emotional well-being and would like some support remember we have our Tuesday and Thursday same-day appointments. We’re based at The Croft Shifa Health Centre, Belfield Road, Rochdale OL16 2UP.
You can call us on 0161 529 7458 between 9-11am on a Tuesday or Thursday to book for that afternoon.
You can find more details on our website -
You must live or be registered with a GP practice (doctor) in the Rochdale borough (which includes Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale).
