What Can Help? Cut and Stick the Helpful Actions – Mental Health Awareness Week 2026

Help children explore healthy coping strategies this Mental Health Awareness Week and all-year-round with this interactive What Can Help? cut and stick activity.

Designed around this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme, “Take Action,” children are encouraged to think about which actions can help someone feel better when upset, worried or overwhelmed. Children sort and stick helpful and unhelpful actions while exploring positive coping strategies, emotional regulation and healthy ways to manage difficult feelings.

This engaging activity supports emotional literacy, discussion and problem-solving. A fantastic resource for encouraging children to think about the positive actions they can take to support mental health and wellbeing.
