Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 runs between the 9th and the 15th of February.
Books are a valuable tool in helping young people understand and empathise their own or others’ mental health experience.
We have curated lists below for primary and secondary students which feature both fiction and non-fiction books that offer insight into what’s happening inside people’s heads. You can find some resources for schools from Place2Be here.
