Children’s Mental Health Week 2021

British Rowing is supporting Children’s Mental Health Week from 1-7 February 2021. We’ve collated some useful resources to help juniors in these difficult times

To ensure that we’re doing all we can to help our junior rowers through these challenging times, British Rowing is proud to support Children’s Mental Health Week.

We are signposting some really useful resources for our junior rowers – and would like to remind all of our youngsters that they’re not alone in this difficult period.
