Schools and youth groups
Hundreds of schools took part in Children’s Mental Health Week this year! We've loved seeing how you all got involved.
If your school or youth group held a fundraiser, be sure to pay in the funds you raised to Place2Be - thank you for all your support.
Each year, we create official free resources and activities for you to use during the week. Even though the week is over, these are still available for you to download.
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.
We partnered with Here4You, supported by The Walt Disney Company!
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.
Although the week is over, you can still download your copy of our official schools pack, full of top tips. class activities and assembly plans for your school use and enjoy.
