Children’s Mental Health Week
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week supporting children and young people’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week supporting children and young people’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Some children can find it difficult to think positively about themselves and this year Children’s Mental Health Week is highlighting the importance of ‘Being Ourselves’ and celebrating the unique qualities and strengths in ourselves and others.
When we have a positive view of ourselves, it can help us cope with life’s challenges and make better connections with others. At the same time, celebrating the unique strengths of the people around us can enable us to come together in our schools, workplaces and communities.
To coincide with this, we are currently running two courses to better equip participants to identify and deal with mental health issues in children.
Director of Brooke Weston Teaching School Alliance Mrs Cristina Taboada-Naya said, ‘Children’s Mental Health is an extremely important subject to be able to understand and to know how to deal with correctly, that is why we are delighted to offer two specialist courses to enable teachers to become fully equipped with the knowledge that is needed when dealing with these vulnerable children.’
