Our Children’s Mental Health Week 2027 resources are now live and ready to download!
The theme for Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week 2027 is 'Step into Our World', and we're inviting everyone to see through children and young people's eyes - gaining insight into their experiences, perspectives and emotions.
Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week takes place every February. We started the week in 2015 to give a voice to children and young people across the UK, and to raise awareness of children and young people's mental health.
What is the theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2027?
The official theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2027 is 'Step into Our World'
Step into Our World invites everyone to see through children and young people’s eyes, gaining insight into their experiences, perspectives and emotions through empathy and nurturing relationships. It highlights the vital role that understanding, connection and positive relationships play in supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
Empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feelings of another person. It is about being open, curious and willing to see the world through someone else’s perspective. By practising empathy, we can build stronger connections, foster inclusion and create environments where children feel valued, supported and understood.

About Place2Be
Place2Be is a children’s mental health charity who have provided counselling, mental health support and training in UK schools since 1994. We launched the official Children's Mental Health Week in 2015 and run it each year in February. We believe that children should not have to face mental health problems alone.
We offer mental health and counselling services in schools, training and support for school staff and parents and carers, as well as counselling qualifications for anyone wanting to become a qualified counsellor for children.
Place2Be equips people with the skills and experience they need to help and transform the lives of children and young people.
