As parents and carers, we all aspire for our children to develop the confidence and ability to express their mental health needs effectively. Research indicates that one in five children are recognising their need for support with mental health, highlighting the importance of open conversations and accessible guidance.
At Turves Green Boys’ School, we are committed to equipping our pupils with the knowledge and skills to understand, articulate, and seek appropriate support for their mental wellbeing. We believe that developing self-awareness and resilience is fundamental to their overall development and success.
From Monday 3rd February to Sunday 9th February, we will be supporting Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week, an initiative aimed at promoting mental health awareness among young people. This year’s theme, "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself", delivered in partnership with Here4You and Disney, encourages children across the UK to explore their identity, strengths, and emotions—helping them build resilience, confidence, and a positive mindset.
Throughout the week and beyond, our pupils will engage in assemblies and discussions designed to reinforce these key messages and provide practical strategies for maintaining good mental health.
If you have any questions regarding Children’s Mental Health Week, please feel free to contact the school at postbox@tgbs.co.uk. For further information, you can visit the official website: www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk.
Thank you for your ongoing support in prioritising the well-being of our young people.
