This year, Children's Mental Health Week is focusing on the theme "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself". The week encourages children, young people, and adults alike to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.
To highlight this year's theme, Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 is partnering with Here4You, a programme backed by The Walt Disney Company. Through the characters from Pixar’s "Inside Out" and "Inside Out 2", the resources designed for the week aim to help children and young people discover how understanding themselves can build resilience, encourage growth, and support their wellbeing.
On the Place2Be website, children and young people will find a variety of resources featuring "Inside Out" characters, helping them to know and grow themselves.
You can access the Children’s Mental Health Week resources here.
In addition, in Kingston and Richmond every primary, secondary and special school has access to Achieving for Children's Mental Health Support Teams in Schools.
Our staff are out in our schools every day supporting pupils, parents and staff with emotional wellbeing. They also run webinars for parents on a range on important topics.
