Mark the week in your calendars so you don't miss out on taking part in the week along with hundreds of schools, families, organisations and communities.
What's the theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2026?
The official theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2026 is 'This is my place'
We know that our sense of belonging as individuals, in our friendships, in school, and in communities plays a vital role in our mental health and wellbeing.
To know our place and really feel part of our environment is a basic human need. It can have powerful and long-lasting impacts in lots of areas of our lives, including our physical and mental health, education, employment and relationships. When we feel that we belong, it empowers us to contribute to the world and make a real difference.
This year, Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week will aim to support the groups and systems surrounding our children. We'll encourage peers, families, schools and communities to create inclusive and nurturing environments, where children and young people feel they belong and can say "This is my place".
