The theme for Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 is focus is know yourself, grow yourself and aims to equip and empower children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them. It aims to help children and young people to build resilience, grow and develop through increasing self-awareness and expressing their emotions.

Bring your children to the Global Week children’s storytime in the University Library! On Wednesday 13 March 2024, we are inviting staff, students and members of the local community to bring their children to a storytime event in the University Library starting at 4 pm, where we will read translated children’s stories sourced from around the world.

Are you considering a career working with children – perhaps as a teacher or learning support worker? Don’t miss the exciting upcoming opportunity to read to local children and the children of our current students during Global Week in March. Read a story to a group of children in the Library and help engage their imaginations in a creative artwork exercise afterwards. You will be able to choose the book you read, and full training and support will be given.
