World Mental Health Day 2025
World Mental Health Day, 10th October 2025, focuses on one vital theme - access to support in emergencies.
But access isn’t only about crisis points; it’s also about the everyday tools, conversations, and strategies that help young people build resilience and know where to turn.
We’ve partnered with Childline to bring together videos showing how support works in practice, from discovering safe spaces online to knowing when and how to reach out.
In this video, Amy explains that Childline is a resource for all young people, not just those in crisis. It highlights the website’s games, advice sections, and counsellor support, reassuring students that it’s okay to use Childline anytime, whether they need help, information, or just a positive boost.
Using football as a metaphor, this video by Bruno encourages boys to see opening up about emotions as taking small steps towards a goal. It challenges stereotypes like “man up” and shows how talking honestly to friends, family, teachers, or Childline can make a big difference to mental wellbeing.
This video by Esra introduces students to some of the most useful parts of the Childline website, from practical advice and calming tools to real-life stories and confidential chats with counsellors. It highlights how young people can explore the site safely, find support, and build their own private space online to look after their mental health.
In this video, Robin explores the Childline Toolbox - a collection of fun, interactive tools to support mental health. From creating a “happy place” to drawing in the art box, writing in a mood journal, or knocking down worries with the “worry wall” game, the Toolbox shows students practical, creative ways to manage their feelings.
In this video, Nate uses a simple paper plane metaphor to show how our mental health can have ups and downs. It reassures young people that changes in mood are normal and introduces practical ways to “refuel” - like talking to friends, being active, or reaching out to Childline for support.
Through the story of Sanjee and an experience at school, this video explores why it can feel hard to talk about something upsetting. It reassures learners that it’s not their fault and shows how speaking to a trusted adult or Childline can help them feel supported.
This video by Amy helps young people build their own “Mental Health First Aid Kit” - a set of activities, calming strategies, and trusted people to turn to when life feels overwhelming. It encourages learners to reflect on what helps them feel better and reminds them that support is always available through friends, family, or Childline.
Sometimes the simplest strategies can be the most effective. This video by Nate shows how taking a short walk - even just ten minutes - can make a real difference to young people’s wellbeing. From releasing feel-good chemicals in the brain to creating space for reflection, walking offers an accessible way to manage stress and anxiety.
