Children’s Mental Health Week
9th February – 15th February is Children’s Mental Health Week.
TOP TIPS FOR HELPING OTHERS WHO MAY BE FEELING LEFT OUT:
- Notice and include others.
- Pay attention to children and young people who seem lonely or left out. Inviting them to play a game, asking their opinion, or inviting them to sit with you can make a huge difference.
- Practice kindness and empathy.
- Be curious about other children and young people, get to know them better and really listen.
- Celebrate differences as well as similarities.
- Recognise and appreciate what makes each of us unique (cultures, backgrounds and experiences etc). Be respectful through our language and actions to include others.
- Speak with other children and young people who are struggling with feeling they belong and encourage them to speak with a trusted person to support them.
