Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 takes place from 9-15 February 2026.
Created by Place2Be, the week focuses on empowering children and amplifying their voices.
The theme for 2026 is This is My Place. It explores the idea of belonging and what it means for children and young people to feel part of something - whether that is their family, their school or their friendships.
The pack provides schools with group activities, top tips and an assembly guide to support discussions about belonging, alongside other ideas to help mark the week and get the wider school community involved.
