Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week: 1st - 7th February The focus of this week is ‘Express Yourself’. We all know how important it is for children to be able to express themselves and more than ever, in these difficult times, we need to find tools and resources to enable children to do this more easily. Puppets and stories about feelings is a good place to start. At 22SLN, we will be looking at ‘in the moment’ breathing, doing mindfulness eating and simple yoga exercises to help focus in the moment. The following website offers resources for you to do with your children at home too, as well as more information if you wish to donate to this charity: https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/about-the-week/ Deborah, from Yoga with Debs, who has previous lead yoga exercises with the children at 22SLN, has offered some online classes for you to access from home during Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week. Deborah is going to do a 30 minute class from 11:30am to 12pm on Monday through Friday.
