Place2Be launched Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week 10 years ago, with of schools and youth groups getting involved every year. We'd love to have you join us for Children's Mental Health Week! The year's 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've created lots of resources and activities for your school to use throughout the week! This year we're partnering with Here4You, supported by The Walt Disney Company and the Inside Out 2 characters to explore our theme Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.
