Children’s Mental Health Week 2023

By

Children’s Mental Health Week 2023 will take place from 6-12 February 2023. This year’s theme is Let’s Connect.

Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. People 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.

During the week, we’ll have a special assembly from Bluejay wellness and we will be having a particular focus on connecting with each other during house meetings that week.
