National or International Awareness Campaigns in 2020 and major holidays can be a great way in to a PSHE, RSE or relationships education topic. Here are some dates that are coming up in the next few weeks:
3rd - 9th February 2020 - Children’s Mental Health Week
This year’s theme is Find your Brave.
Bravery comes in all shapes and sizes and is different for everyone. Bravery can be about sharing worries and asking for help, trying something new or pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. Finding your Brave can build your confidence, self-esteem and make you feel good about yourself.
