This week (6-12th Feb 2023) is Children’s Mental Health Week and this year’s theme is ‘Let’s Connect’ which embraces making meaningful connections with family, friends and others. We thrive in communities and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we don’t have social connections we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on mental health.
We will be working with the children this week to explain the importance of mental wellbeing, how we achieve it, our emotions and our meaningful connections. Parents and carers play an important role in children’s mental health and some useful free resources can be found here: https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/families/
