About this resource
Children’s Mental Health Week takes place from 9-15 February 2026.
The week provides an opportunity to empower and give a voice to all children and young people.
This year’s theme, This is My Place, is all about belonging. It explores what it means to feel part of something, whether that is family life, school or college, friendships or a wider community.
When children and young people feel that they belong, it can have a positive impact on their mental health and how they see themselves – helping them to thrive, both in and beyond school and college.
This toolkit brings together practical resources and ideas to help you explore the theme of belonging in your setting and strengthen positive connections across your community throughout the year.
