This week is Children's Mental Health Week and the theme this year is 'Express Yourself'. 

We believe your emotional wellbeing is just as important as your physical health. Good mental health allows all of us to develop the resilience to cope with whatever life throws at us and helps us grow into well-rounded, healthy adults.

Today, we would like you to take some time out to focus on your Mental Wellbeing, focussing on theme of 'Expressing Yourself'. You can choose from the range of activities below and even learn how to journal your feelings and emotions.
