This year’s theme, 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself,' supports young people to develop the skills they need to understand who they are so they can become more self-aware. It also helps young people to identify what may trigger certain emotions and understand that there are different ways to express emotions.
Children will know that they can speak to people who they trust about their thoughts, feelings and opinions, this can help them to get to know themselves better.
Other strategies include :
- spending time with friends and family;
- getting physical exercise;
- spending time in nature;
- reading;
- listening to music;
- sharing challenges with friends and family;
- practising mindfulness;
- practising relaxing breathing techniques.
Pupils will take part in activities throughout the week to celebrate Children's Mental Health Week.
