Join us to mark Children's Mental Health Week 2025!

Show your support for children and young people's mental health in Calderdale.

Welcome to Children's Mental Health Week 2025 (February 3-9, 2025), a dedicated week focussed on recognising the importance of children and young people's mental health!

This year’s theme, Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, invites children and young people to explore self-awareness and embrace personal growth. By understanding who they are— their strengths, emotions, and challenges—they can build resilience and confidence for the future. 

How can you get involved?

We get that schools are busy, so we want to make it as easy as possible to take part.

Participate in our initiative with free in-class resources designed for schools, with engaging activities and ways to collaborate with other schools across Calderdale. Help spread awareness and support by joining our new and fun fundraising appeal, raising vital funds for children's mental health. It's all in our Schools Pack!

Sign up below to access our Schools pack for Children's Mental Health Week 2025, and make your planning a breeze.

Raise funds for Time Out with a Dare to Be You' fundraising day!

Unite the school community for a day of self-expression, fostering a safe and supportive space where everybody can be themselves.

See what we got up to last year:

The theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2024, My Voice Matters, inspired young people across Calderdale to speak up and share their perspectives.

Schools throughout the area brought the theme to life by using our activity packs in classrooms and assemblies, with many also joining in our brand-new school fundraising campaign.
​
We made a big impact at Halifax Central Library with our Megaphone takeover, where young people shouted out about the issues that matter most to them. The week also saw young voices take centre stage on the Healthy Minds Radio Show on Phoenix Radio, where they shared their thoughts and experiences around mental health.
