Every year , Children’s Mental Health Week takes place during February.  This year the theme is,

‘ Let’s connect’.

Connecting with others helps us to share experiences with people we trust and care about. Positive relationships give us opportunities to share our feelings and get someone else’s views on what we are experiencing. Positive relationships give us a sense of feeling and belonging.

The BIG QUESTIONS:

What is mental health?

How can we look after our own mental health?

How can we look after the mental health

of others ?

What can we do to keep our minds healthy?

After lengthy discussions the children were asked to come up with a Mental Health Action Plan…

And when all the hard work is done – chill time – with a purpose!

Colouring is a healthy way to relieve stress. It calms the brain and helps your body relax. This can improve sleep and fatigue while decreasing body aches, heart rate, respiration, and feelings of depression and anxiety.

A perfect way to end the day.
