🥰 HI Hero Carter’s 'My Place' is DiddiKicks ⚽. HI Mum Emma, "taking part in football like other children has been wonderful for his confidence, skills, and social development. It helps him feel capable, included, and brings him joy and a real sense of achievement". 🌟

#ChildMentalHealthWeek #MyPlace

The theme for #ChildMentalHealthWeek is #MyPlace, communities that help children feel supported & included.

For Katie, this was Cub Scouts: “I was never left out. Leaders adapted tasks to my needs. I competed in swimming galas, went camping, learned skills & grew in confidence.

💓“As Carter’s parent, trusting others with his care isn’t easy. But knowing he has Abbie, who truly understands him, means everything. Nursery is his place to be included, supported, and happy, and that peace of mind is priceless.” HI Mum Emma

The theme for #ChildMentalHealthWeek is My Place, where children & young people feel supported & understood.

The theme for #ChildMentalHealthWeek is My Place, where children feel safe, supported, and belong.

For Wade, his #MyPlace is his kickboxing club, EPIC: “No judgement, just acceptance that I’ll get there in my own time. 2x WAKO British Champion and representing Team GB? Dreams do come true!” 🥊💓

When we talk about children’s mental health, it’s easy to focus on worries or challenges. But wellbeing is also shaped by children’s experiences of friendships, relationships and how they feel about themselves. Read Hayley’s blog for #ChildMentalHealthWeek here: www.acet-uk.com/child-mental...

#ChildMentalHealthWeek's theme is 'My Place', the people and communities that help children feel safe, understood, and that they belong.

Next week is #ChildMentalHealthWeek. This year’s theme is My Place = the places where children feel supported, and that they belong.

Before then, a look back at a powerful story from a HI family:
💔 “She hates her life. It’s heartbreaking to feel her sorrow and frustration."

What a great way to start #childmentalhealthweek then being in Cork with over 100 people to discuss relational & developmental trauma- theory and practice #KTCork2019 @caidreamh @OSullivanNicola
