The official theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2027 is 'Step into Our World'
Step into Our World invites everyone to see through children and young people’s eyes, gaining insight into their experiences, perspectives and emotions through empathy and nurturing relationships. It highlights the vital role that understanding, connection and positive relationships play in supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
Empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feelings of another person. It is about being open, curious and willing to see the world through someone else’s perspective. By practising empathy, we can build stronger connections, foster inclusion and create environments where children feel valued, supported and understood.
Your support will transform lives
Every penny and pound you raise will fund our mission of making sure that no child or young person has to face a mental health problem alone. Here’s how your fundraising makes a difference…
could pay for a child to speak to a qualified counsellor about their worries in a lunchtime session
could pay for a child struggling with trauma to have a 50-minute one-to-one session with a counsellor
could allow 31 children to speak to a mental health professional about issues like anxiety, low mood, or self-harm.
could help fund a full round of one-to-one counselling sessions for two vulnerable children
Each year, hundreds of schools, communities, families, individuals and workplaces get involved in Children's Mental Health Week. We love seeing everyone who is taking part on our map.

Fundraising ideas
This year’s theme, ‘Step Into Our World’, focuses on empathy and nurturing relationships. By inviting others into your world through fundraising, you can spark conversations, build understanding and support children’s mental health.
Where does my fundraising go?
All the money you raise with your family or community during the week goes towards Place2Be providing vital mental health support services for pupils, school staff and parents and carers in schools across the UK.
For every £1 invested, Place2Be's counselling service in primary schools has the potential to return £8 to society by improving the long-term outcomes for each child. Read our report to find out more.
Who started Children's Mental Health Week?
Place2Be is a children’s mental health charity who started Children's Mental Health Week in 2015.
In addition to providing counselling, mental health support and training in UK schools, we have expert parenting advice, tips and articles. We believe that children should not have to face mental health problems alone.
