Children's Mental Health Week

Children's Mental Health Week is run by children's mental health charity PLACE2BE to focus on the importance of looking after our emotional wellbeing from an early age. This year's theme is 'GROWING TOGETHER'.

Human beings change and grow – we do it all the time and in many different ways. Physical growth is easy to see as we grow from babies to children, teenagers to adults. We grow intellectually as we gain new knowledge, skills, and understanding at school, and beyond. GROWING TOGETHER is about growing emotionally, and finding ways to help each other grow.

For Children’s Mental Health Week 2022, Place2Be is encouraging Children, Young People (and adults) to consider how they have grown, what they need to help them grow, and how they can help others to grow too.

We'd love your support to help us spread the word and raise awareness of the importance of children's mental health and time to talk day.

Please come and join the Student Wellbeing Officers on the 9th Feb 2022 10am-11am in the Castleford Campus Canteen for a Coffee, Cake and Chat about 'GROWING TOGETHER'.
