Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 is taking place from 3-9 February 2025 and this year’s theme is ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’.
The Oral Health Foundation understands that it can be difficult with the pressures of modern life, to empower children to put their mental health first.
However, whether you are a parent, guardian, or have the responsibility of caring for a child in any setting, it is important to recognise how closely mental, and oral health are connected. By understanding the issues, identifying early signs, and offering timely and effective solutions, you can support a child’s overall health and wellbeing.
