This week, is Children’s Mental Health Week, and STORYSKIMO is a proud supporter!
This year's theme is Growing Together.
Growing Together is about growing emotionally and finding ways to help each other grow. Challenges and setbacks can help us to grow and adapt and trying new things can help us to move beyond our comfort zone into a new realm of possibility and potential. However, emotional growth is often a gradual process that happens over time, and sometimes we might feel a bit ‘stuck’.
Place2Be has free resources, which will help children and young people to explore what it means to grow together.
At STORYSKIMO, we believe that communication is an important part of children’s mental wellbeing. Therefore, we’d like to encourage children to raise their voices and we will publish at least 10 kids’ very own stories on our Children’s voices podcast. Once children have recorded and submitted their audio, make sure you follow us on Instagram @storyskimo and Spotify (Children’s voices). Wait a few days, and their episode should be featured on STORYSKIMO’s “Children’s voices” podcast (available on Spotify/Apple podcast etc).

You can start with your first name and age, then imagine you are talking to a friend, explaining the situation you faced and how you felt.
Next, tell us what you did or think to overcome the challenge or negative feelings.
What you are sharing with us is certainly inspiring someone else! What would you like to tell this person?
