The theme for Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week this year was ‘Let’s Connect’. We discussed how making connections with our friends, family, pets, neighbours and community can help with our mental health. These connections can make us feel happy, loved, secure and ambitious. We also learnt the importance of talking to a trusted adult if any of these connections don’t feel right. We worked together in groups and as a whole class to solve problems and reinforce how being connected can help us in all areas of life. At the end of the week, we wore bright coloured clothes to school.
