Children's Mental Health Week

What is Children's Mental Health Week?

Children's Mental Health Week is a mental health awareness week that launched by children's mental health charity, Place2Be. The week exists to empower, equip and give a voice to all children and young people in the UK.

When is Children's Mental Health Week 2025?

Children's Mental Health Week 2025 will take place from 3-9 February 2025. The week launched a decade ago in 2015 and we celebrate it every February, with this year marking the 11th Children's Mental Health Week.

What is the theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2025?

This year, Children's Mental Health Week is focussing on Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.

Know Yourself, Grow Yourself will put a spotlight on how we can build resilience, grow and develop by understanding who we are and what makes us tick.

The more we understand about ourselves, the better we're prepared to tackle life's ups and downs. By helping children and young people to understand and accept themselves, they start to build self-awareness. This allows them to develop the skills they need to cope with what life throws at them.

During Children's Mental Health Week we want to celebrate children and young people building resilience, embracing self-awareness and forming strong connections with others.
