Empowering

Think Equal is a global initiative which calls for a system change in education, to end the discriminatory mindset and the cycle of violence across our world and ensure positive life outcomes for our children.
Together with world experts, Think Equal has designed a programme to teach social and emotional learning to early years (3-6-year-olds). We ask governments, policymakers and school networks to adopt, and ideally mandate, this programme as a new subject from the age of 3: the optimal window to modify attitudes, values and behaviours, based on evidence from neuroscientists. We ask those who have a duty of care to our children: "how can it be deemed compulsory for a child to learn mathematics, but it is optional for that child to learn how to value another human being or to lead healthy relationships?".

How to create positive life outcomes for millions of children?

Let's start with the brain.

While rates of mental ill health do increase as children get older, early intervention is key to giving young people the best start in life.

Primary schools have a vital role to play in supporting children's mental health - teaching them the skills they need to recognise and deal with their emotions, and helping those with difficulties get the support they need.

This section of the site will help you learn more about mental health, and get started on the path to becoming a mentally healthy school.

What is Children's Mental Health Week?

Children's Mental Health Week is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about children and young people's mental health. This important event is a brilliant opportunity to open a discussion about mental health and wellbeing with children and young people.

The children's mental health charity, Place2Be, set up Children's Mental Health Week to highlight the importance of mental health for children and young people. We all have mental health and the majority of people will experience some form of mental health issue throughout their lives. In fact, up to 1 in 4 of us will experience mental health problems at some point in our lifetime.

During Children's Mental Health Week 2024, we can take some time to focus on mental health and talk about these important topics. We can encourage children to think about how they can best look after their own mental health and encourage parents, carers and teachers to reflect on their role in supporting children with their mental health.

When is Children's Mental Health Week 2024?

Now you know what this special week is all about, but when is Children's Mental Health Week?

Children's Mental Health Week 2024 will take place from 5th-11th February 2024. Schools, youth groups, various organisations and individuals across the UK will be taking part. You can get involved, too!

What is the theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2024?

Each year there is a different theme for Children's Mental Health Week. The theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2024 is 'My Voice Matters'.

We can discuss important topics, such as feeling lonely, making friends and healthy relationships with children and young people during Children's Mental Health Week 2024.

Children's Mental Health Week facts

Here are five Children's Mental Health Week facts to help you learn all about this important event:

The first Children's Mental Health Week was held in 2015.

Last year, in 2022, the theme for Children's Mental Health Week was 'Express Yourself'.

Five children in a classroom of 30 pupils are likely to have a mental health issue (The Children's Society).

50% of all mental health problems start by the age of 14 (The Children's Society).

75% of children and young people who experience mental health problems aren't getting the support they need (Mental Health Foundation).

Teacher-made resources for Children's Mental Health Week 2024

To highlight this important week with your learners, use our Children's Mental Health Week resources to initiate open discussions with your pupils and encourage them to express themselves in creative and inspiring ways.

Our team of Twinkl teachers have been working hard to create a vast selection of 'Let's Connect' Children's Mental Health Week 2024 activities for you to choose from. Regardless of what age and stage your kids are at, we've got resources for you. Let's have a look at some of our favourites:

This brilliant Children's Mental Health Week Assembly Pack contains everything you need to deliver an informative and engaging assembly about mental health to your pupils. Use the PowerPoint and accompanying script in this pack to make a start on discussing with children all about how to maintain and improve their own wellbeing.

Journaling is a super popular method of self-care for both children and adults. This Children's Mental Health Week: Journaling Activity helps children to reflect on their mental wellbeing and practise self-expression through a series of daily question prompts. This resource encourages children to focus on gratitude every day, explore the things in life that bring them joy, and ponder their hopes for the future.

This interactive Children's Mental Health Week: Feelings Bingo resource can be used to help your students recognise and name emotions in themselves and in others. The pictures and words in this activity help children learn about different emotions.

As the theme of Children's Mental Health Week 2024 is 'Let's Connect', this is a perfect time to explore with your children all about what loneliness is, how it feels and what we can do if we feel lonely. Use this worksheet to guide your lesson about loneliness and help children feel supported and reassured that they are never alone.

Emotional regulation is a really important part of maintaining and sustaining good mental health. Growing up is an emotional time and, as such, kids can often end up feeling overwhelmed. This resource pack contains a range of activities to help your students recognise how they feel and regulate their emotions.

This What Makes Us Feel? Activity is one of our most simple yet effective Children's Mental Health Week activities. It asks children to reflect on what makes them feel different emotions, e.g. happy or sad. It's great for teaching children how to recognise their feelings and identify what is causing them.

This pack contains a wide selection of Children's Mental Health Week activities that can be used in your PSHE and Citizenship lessons this year. By using this dedicated KS2 Positive Mental Health Lesson Pack, you can put together thoughtful and engaging lessons on mental health and wellbeing, without spending tons of time on planning.

This board game is a super fun way to encourage children to learn and talk about their feelings in a safe environment. As it is focused on recognising emotions, this game is perfect for the 'Let's Connect' theme, as children can learn about how to recognise the emotions of others. You can play this game as part of your lessons, or at home.

A great way to celebrate Children's Mental Health Week is by decorating your classroom with uplifting, positive posters. These Positive Mental Health Posters are perfect for displaying in your classroom or in communal areas to inspire both children and staff in the school. The posters contain positive messages, like "we are all in this together", which will help create a supportive, inclusive environment this Children's Mental Health Week.

Looking for more resources to decorate your classroom with? Celebrate Children's Mental Health Week 2024 with these lovely posters. They are designed to help you reflect upon the important aspects of mental health in the classroom or at home:

Music lessons that inspire & bring joy. Most kids get bored or frustrated with music lessons and struggle to stick with them. (Sound familiar?) At Brooklyn Music Factory though, our curriculum motivates kids to play music with each other, encourages creative songwriting, and includes lots and lots of games-so kids are inspired to grow into lifelong music makers!
