Children's Mental Health Week
This week is Children's mental health week. The theme of Children's Mental Health Week 2021 is Express Yourself.
The aim is to encourage children to express themselves in a variety of ways. For example, expressing yourself can be about sharing your feelings, thoughts and ideas through creativity. Children could express how they feel through a piece of artwork or writing, or they could express it through a performance such as dance or drama.
An important part of this theme is that expressing yourself doesn't mean that you're the best at something. It's all about finding a way to show other people who you are and how you feel. It's about showing how you see the world and finding a way to 'express yourself' which feels good to you. Expressing yourself in a way that's unique to you is a great way to improve mental wellbeing.
Underneath there are lot's of activities and resources that you can do throughout the week to support your mental health and wellbeing.
