This Children’s Mental Health Week, we’re asking people to ‘Dress to Express’ and help raise vital funds to help us support more children and young people with their mental health. On Friday 11th February, please come dressed to school in an outfit that allows you to express yourself. Here are some photos to inspire you. We are looking forward to seeing your outfits!
Today it was Time to Talk Day. Time to Talk Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of talking about our feelings and expressing our emotions to support our mental health. We were asked to plan and deliver some lessons on what this day is all about. We spoke to all of the classes to teach them about mental health and we discussed ideas to keep a healthy mental health. Here are some things you can do to improve your mental health:
Speak to your friends
Speak to a family member
Spend time outdoors
Do your favourite thing
Play some sport
How do you like to keep your mind healthy?
