This is my Place Pupil Leaflet – Children’s Mental Health Week

Support children in understanding what it means to belong with this ‘This is my Place Pupil Leaflet – Children’s Mental Health Week.’ Designed for children aged 7–11, it provides clear, reassuring explanations about feeling safe, accepted, and included in different areas of their lives.

The leaflet helps children explore:

• Learn what belonging means and why it is important for feeling safe, happy, and included
• Understand that belonging can exist in different places and with different people
• Discover that everyone’s experience of belonging is unique and can change over time
• Read positive messages about kindness, connection, and being accepted for who they are
• Find reassurance if school, friendships, or social situations sometimes feel tricky
• Be encouraged to notice and value the people, places, and activities that help them feel included

This resource is ideal for teachers, parents, and practitioners who want to give children guidance on social and emotional wellbeing. It provides a positive, hopeful message, helping children reflect on their sense of belonging, feel valued, and understand that everyone has a place where they fit in.

There is an editable part for you to put your contact details or just your name. Simply type in the blue box. Don’t worry the blue box doesn’t show when you print. You can of course just print it and handwrite your details.

There is also a BLACK AND WHITE version included in the pack.
