We loved seeing the many families, parents and carers take part in Children's Mental Health Week!

Each year, Place2Be experts create fun and engaging resources for families, parents and carers to take part in Children's Mental Health Week. Although the week is over, you can still download these to use at home.

If you raised money at home, be sure to pay in your fundraising to Place2Be!

This year we partnered with Here4You, supported by The Walt Disney Company and the Inside Out 2 characters to explore our theme Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.

Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 joined forces with Here4You to explore the importance of self-awareness and expressing emotions.

Here4You is supported by The Walt Disney Company, and through the characters of Pixar’s Inside Out and Inside Out 2, the resources encourage children and young people across the UK to discover how getting to know who they are can help them build resilience, grow and develop.

Throughout our resources and website, you might've seen some of your favourite Inside Out 2 characters, helping us explore our theme of Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.
