Free Webinar – Children’s Mental Health Week:  Know Yourself, Grow Yourself

Free webinar - 3rd February @ 12pm

Children's Mental Health Week is from 3rd to 9th February. It's a mental health awareness week that was launched in 2015 by Place2Be (a children's mental health charity that focuses its work in schools). The focus for 2025 is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, with the aim to equip and empower children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.

We are running a FREE webinar on 3^rd February @ 12pm to support parents, carers, aunts, uncles and grandparents with some helpful hints and tips to creating an environment and relationships with children and teens that will give them:

1. Support to learn to 'Know themselves'
2. The environment in which they can 'Grow themselves'...the emphasis being on "themselves"

We will look at:

• Why this theme is important
• Some common mistakes we can make when we approach our interactions with young people (and we all make them – no judgement here!)
• Ways that we can adjust our interactions
• How our personal investment in young people can make it hard to carry out some of these hints and tips so we will also look at ideas to separate "our stuff" from "their stuff"

The session will be facilitated by Clare Gill and Liz Carter @ THC

Clare is a qualified counsellor and works part time as such at a secondary school in Hertfordshire. She has 2 teenagers.

Liz has a BA in Psychology and philosophy and is a certified coach, often working with parents. She also has 2 teenagers.
