SSAFA Public Health Campaign: Children’s Mental Health Week, 3rd to 9th February 2025
Monday 3rd February 2025 is the start of Children’s Mental Health Week. Giving our children opportunities to open up and to feel seen and heard is one of the most important things a parent or carer can do to support their child’s well-being.
Did you know:
📚 1 in 10 boys aged 5-19 with a mental health condition are suspended in some form from school.
📅 50% of those with lifetime mental health problems first experience symptoms by the age of 14.
👩🏻👨🏼 1 in 5 children and young people have a probable mental health condition, and many continue to have these problems into adulthood.
I hope this campaign helps to support parents to support their children to recognise and mange their emotions.
