Mental Health Awareness Week

Children's Mental Health Week 2025 takes place from the 3rd to 9th of February 2025.

The theme for 2025 is focus is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, with the aim to equip and empower children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.

We want children and young people to discover how getting to know who they are can help them build resilience, grow and develop.

A partnership with The Walt Disney Company

Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week has joined forces with Here4You to explore the importance of self-awareness and expressing emotions.

Here4You is supported by The Walt Disney Company, and through the characters of Pixar's Inside Out 2, the resources encourage children and young people across the UK to discover how getting to know who they are can help them build resilience, grow and develop.

On the website and in some of the resources and activities, you'll find Joy and the characters from Inside Out 2 help explore the theme, Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.
