Children's Mental Health Week

 Children's Mental Health Week

3-9th February 2025

This year’s theme is ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’.

'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself' puts a spotlight on how we can build resilience, grow and develop by understanding who we are and what makes us tick.

Class sessions in the library reflected on emotions, what they are and how to share them so that we can strive to be happy and healthy. Reminding everyone that reading is a great way to relax, be happy and confident.
