Mental Health Awareness Week 2024

In a special Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 Live Lesson, England captain Harry Kane joins Shini Muthukrishnan and Ade Adepitan to explore how movement affects mood.

From our Moodboosters HQ, Blue Peter presenter Shini Muthukrishnan and Paralympic legend Ade Adepitan host a special Mental Health Awareness Week Live Lesson for 7- to 11-year-olds.

Together with a group of primary school pupils, Ade and Shini explore ideas for simple ways to get moving for our mental health.

Well-being expert Dr Radha explains the different emotions we might feel, and how our bodies produce mood-boosting chemicals called endorphins when we get active. Olympic gold medalist Sam Quek demonstrates what happens when those endorphins are released in our brains, and all the different ways we can get moving.

England captain Harry Kane is also on hand with advice on expressing our feelings and listening to others.
