Children's Mental Health Week

Children's Mental Health Week

At Connex we celebrated Children's Mental Health Week which took place from the 3rd February. We worked with our children and young people to speak up and feel empowered to talk about mental health.

This year the theme to Children's Mental Health Week was 'Know yourself, Grow yourself'. The children and young people worked on building and growing resilience through understanding themselves and recognising their emotions.
The children and young people recognised that it is completely normal for us all to feel all sorts of emotions. We all feel sad, angry or worried sometimes. They recognised that when those feelings won't go away and they start to really affect day-to-day life, that is when there might be a problem. They shared websites and links to help them manage their mental health.
