Relationships are key in discussing difficulties. Connection with children allows them to feel safe and open up. Here are ideas to support interaction and communications. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek @place2be #ExpressYourself

This wee video highlights how you are all brilliant. It looks at Autism but the message is true for everyone. You each have unique skills and qualities and are brilliant in your own way. #ExpressYourself #childrensmentalhealthweek2021

[Killermont Primary @KillermontPS]

50% of those with lifetime mental health problems first experience symptoms by the age of 14. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek highlights the importance of speaking up. Here is a video highlighting some of the changes going on in the brain as we grow up. https://t.co/7b4oKoIwRn

Research published this year shows that 5 times as many teachers report poor #mentalhealth now than did so 20 years ago. 🏫

@Tamsin_J_Ford, our Research Chair, explains why it is so important that teachers look after both their mental and physical health. https://t.co/69l6h5T6CI

[Place2Be @Place2Be]

What can we learn from community-based #mentalhealth solutions from around the world? 🌍

I love this line in it: "Every emotion word [we help children learn] is a tool for their future." https://t.co/Zotu9GGABL
