💛 Children’s Mental Health Week

9–15 February 2026

Children’s Mental Health Week is a time to focus on the emotional wellbeing of children and young people.

Recent research shows that many young people experience anxiety, low mood, or emotional difficulties- often linked to school pressures, friendships, or worries about money and the future. Many rely on family and friends for support, and some don’t ask for help at all.

If you’re worried about your child, trust your instincts. Talking early and seeking support can make a big difference. Help is available through schools, community services, and our Children and Young Peoples Services via your GP practice.

👉 If you have concerns about your child or young person’s mental health, please contact the practice to discuss support and next steps.

It can be uncomfortable to open up and share how we’re really feeling. But talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone.

👉 Those big conversations can feel heavy. Awkward. Risky.
But they don’t have to be faced alone.
