This week, we're focusing on our theme Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, with the aim to encourage children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.

We've created lots of resources and activities for your school to use throughout the week all around the theme. Download your copies and start planning your activities to do this week!

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

We're partnering with Here4You, supported by The Walt Disney Company!

Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 is joining 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 spot some of your favourite Inside Out 2 characters, helping us explore our theme of Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.
