This Week is Children’s Mental Health Week – Let’s Make Every Voice Heard!

February 3rd – 9th marks Children’s Mental Health Week 2025, a vital time to highlight the importance of children’s well-being. This years theme is ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’, which is about encouraging children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means for them.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many children struggle to talk about their feelings. By fostering open conversations, we can help young people develop confidence, resilience, and the ability to seek support when needed. Parents, teachers, and caregivers all play a crucial role in creating safe spaces where children feel comfortable sharing their thoughts.

This week is an opportunity to engage in activities that promote emotional well-being, from storytelling and creative expression to mindfulness and active listening. Schools, community groups, and families can participate by encouraging open discussions, supporting peer relationships, and advocating for better mental health resources for young people.

Let’s work together to ensure that every child feels heard, valued, and supported – not just this week, but every day. 

Because when children’s voices are heard, their mental health thrives.
