This year’s theme is 'This is my Place'.
Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 takes place from 9th to 15th February and this year’s theme is ‘This is my Place’.
As the largest children’s mental health charity operating in schools across the UK, Place2Be created the week to empower, equip and give a voice to every child in the UK.
We know that our sense of belonging as individuals, in our friendships, in school and in communities plays a vital role in our mental health and wellbeing.
To know our place and really feel part of our environment is a basic human need. It can have powerful and long-lasting impacts in lots of areas of our lives, including our physical and mental health, education, employment and relationships.
When we feel that we belong, it empowers us to contribute to the world and make a real difference.
This year, Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week will aim to support the groups and systems surrounding our children. We’ll encourage peers, families, schools and community groups to create inclusive and nurturing environments, where children and young people feel they belong and can say ‘This is my place’.
