Information and teaching resources are available to support parents, practitioners and community workers during Children’s Mental Health Week, 6-12 February. Hosted by children’s mental health charity Place2Be, the theme this year is ‘spread a little kindness’ and the initiative is supported by Scottish Government. Children go through tough times just like the rest of us, and while we cannot always change their circumstances, a small gesture, whether it’s lending a listening ear, offering a helping hand, or just telling someone how much you appreciate them can make a big difference.
