Schools and youth groups
Children’s Mental Health Week took place from 5 - 11 February 2024. The theme this year was ‘My Voice Matters’.
My Voice Matters is about empowering children and young people by providing them with the tools they need to express themselves.
When we feel empowered, there’s a positive impact on our wellbeing. Children who feel that their voices are heard and can make a difference have a greater sense of community and self-esteem. This year, we want children of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to be empowered to work together to create a positive change for their mental health and wellbeing.
If your school raised money during Children's Mental Health Week, you can pay it in to Place2Be.
