Kidz Mental Health Matters 💟

Did you know this week, 1st - 7th February 2021 is known as Children’s Mental Health Week? And this year's theme is 'Express Yourself'!! 💡

Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share your thoughts, feelings and ideas through creativity. 🎨🖌

This could be through ART, music, writing, poetry, dance, drama, photography, film or any creative activities that make you FEEL good.😊

Remember that expressing yourself is NOT about being the 'best'...it's merely an opportunity to showcase who YOU truly are and having the courage to allow others to understand how you see the world. 🌍

This Sunday was supposed to be our 4th and final FREE lockdown event for ART SIPPERS Kidz, but we have decided to mark this big occasion with a surprise for our Little Sippers (Spoiler Alert!) with one extra FREE virtual event next week! 🎉

With around 1 in 3 children in every primary school class suffering from mental health problems, and many more struggling with challenges from bullying to bereavement - We feel this topic should no longer be seen as a taboo within our society! ⛔

It's time for us adults to start having uncomfortable conversations by speaking up and speaking out 🗣 And by properly educating the next generation there is the hope of fostering a more encouraging and accepting environment for the future.🚀 #MentalHealthMatters ⚖
