Children’s Mental Health Week

Make connections in Children’s Mental Health Week 6-12th Feb

This week we will be celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week.  Mrs McMurdo will be speaking to us about it in Get2gether on Monday morning.  The theme for the week is Let’s Connect.  Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connectionsHuman beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.

As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Click the link below to find a range of free resources that you can access:
