Children's Mental Health Week 

Children's Mental Health Week 

Parents & Carers

The theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is Growing Together.

Growing Together is about growing emotionally and finding ways to help each other grow. Challenges and setbacks can help us to grow and adapt and trying new things can help us to move beyond our comfort zone into a new realm of possibility and potential. However, emotional growth is often a gradual process that happens over time, and sometimes we might feel a bit ‘stuck’.

As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Check out our free resources for families below. https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/parents-and-carers/

Please don’t feel pressured into completing any of the activities, what we would like to do is to think about your own and your families’ mental health. Do something this week to look after yourself, laugh and notice the feeling of contentment. Remember there is always help available if you need it. Never be afraid to pick up the phone and ask. Alternatively there are sources of help for mental wellbeing highlighted on our website. 

Thinking of you all the Wellbeing Team.
