Children’s Mental Health Week 2021

Express Yourself

Free resources for schools and youth groups.

From 1-7 February 2021 schools, youth groups, organisations and individuals across the UK will take part in Children’s Mental Health Week.

Promoting Children’s Mental Health has never been more important. This year’s theme is “Express Yourself” and we have developed resources for primary and secondary school age children and young people. These include activity sheets, resource lists, top tips and fundraising packs; everything you need to shine a light on children’s mental health with the children and young people you work with. These ideas can be adapted for use in school, for home-schooling, online lessons or independent learning.

Children's Mental Health Week is run by children's mental health charity Place2Be to focus on the importance of looking after our emotional wellbeing from an early age.

Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good.

For Children's Mental Health Week 2021 we will be encouraging children (and adults) to explore the different ways we can express ourselves, and the creative ways that we can share our feelings, our thoughts and our ideas.

Spread the word

We'd love your support to help us spread the word and raise awareness of the importance of children's mental health. Resources are available in English and Welsh.

If you are tweeting and posting about the week, be sure to tag Place2Be in your posts and use #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek or #Place2BeCymru @Place2Be

Wythnos Iechyd Meddwl Plant 2021

Mynegwch eich Hun

Adnoddau am ddim i ysgolion a grwpiau ieuenctid.

O 1-7 Chwefror 2021 bydd ysgolion, grwpiau ieuenctid, sefydliadau ac unigolion ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig yn cymryd rhan yn Wythnos Iechyd Meddwl Plant. Ni fu hybu Iechyd Meddwl Plant erioed mor bwysig. Thema eleni yw “Mynegwch eich Hun” ac rydym ni wedi datblygu adnoddau ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc oed cynradd ac uwchradd. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys taflenni gweithgaredd, rhestrau adnoddau, cynghorion gwych a phecynnau codi arian; popeth y bydd arnoch ei angen i fwrw goleuni ar iechyd meddwl plant gyda’r plant a’r bobl ifanc rydych chi’n gweithio gyda nhw. Gallwch chi addasu’r syniadau yma i’w defnyddio yn yr ysgol, wrth addysgu gartref, ar gyfer gwersi ar-lein neu i ddysgu’n annibynnol.

Mae’r elusen iechyd meddwl plant Place2Be yn cynnal Wythnos Iechyd Meddwl Plant er mwyn canolbwyntio ar bwysigrwydd gofalu am ein llesiant emosiynol yn ifanc. Mae Mynegi eich Hun yn ymwneud â chael hyd i ffyrdd o rannu teimladau, meddyliau, neu syniadau, trwy fod yn greadigol. Gallech chi ddefnyddio celf, cerddoriaeth, ysgrifennu a barddoniaeth, dawns a drama, ffotograffiaeth a ffilm, a gweithgareddau sy’n gwneud i chi deimlo’n dda.

Ar gyfer Wythnos Iechyd Meddwl Plant 2021 byddwn ni’n annog plant (ac oedolion) i archwilio’r gwahanol ffyrdd y gallwn ni fynegi ein hunain, a’r ffyrdd creadigol y gallwn ni rannu ein teimladau, ein meddyliau a’n syniadau.

Rhoi’r gair ar led

Byddem ni wrth ein bodd yn cael eich cefnogaeth i’n helpu i roi’r gair ar led a chynyddu ymwybyddiaeth o bwysigrwydd iechyd meddwl plant. Mae adnoddau ar gael yn Gymraeg a Saesneg. Os ydych chi’n trydar ac yn postio am yr wythnos, tagiwch Place2Be yn eich negeseuon a defnyddio #WythnosIechydMeddwlPlant neu #Place2BeCymru @Place2Be
