Place2be launched the first-ever Children’s Mental Health Week in 2015 to shine a spotlight on the importance of children and young people’s mental health.
Now in its ninth year, Place2Be hope to encourage more people than ever to get involved, spread the word and raise vital funds for children’s mental health.When we take notice of ourselves and how we feel, we are able to make better choices and be more connected with our feelings and behaviours. Noticing these things can help us recognise when we need support.
Sometimes we can feel like we are in the middle of a tussle of emotions– feeling joy, then sad, angry and jealous, all at the same time! These emotions help us to understand ourselves better – what we like and dislike, where we feel comfortable and where we are scared.
There are parts of ourselves that we may not see as easily. Sometimes we can learn more about ourselves with the help of family, friends, and teachers.
Getting to know yourself and each other is a wonderful way to grow, make connections and support others.
"The most important thing is to try to know yourself.“
— Socrates
“Promise me you’ll always remember you’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

“Every one of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.”— Princess Diana
