Children in schools across Rutland and Stamford are being encouraged to explore their sense of belonging, to support their mental health and wellbeing.

It's Children's Mental Health Week and the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust's mental health support teams are visiting schools to run workshops and activities and encouraging staff to take the lead through the theme "This is my place" where children can explore where and with whom they feel they belong. The theme comes from the Children's Mental Health charity Place2Be.
