Children's Mental Health Week
What is mental health?
The World Health Organization defines mental health as:
'A state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.'
NHS England describes mental health as:
'How we think, feel and behave.'
How can we look after our mental health?
Talk about your feelings
Keep active
Eat well
Drink water
Keep in touch with people
Ask for help
Take a break
Do something that you're good at/you enjoy
This year's theme for Children's Mental Health Week is 'Express Yourself.'
Express yourself is about finding creative ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas through things like art, writing, music, dance and doing things that make you feel good.
