This week is Childrens Mental Health Week Did you know that families across Durham can access free online emotional health and wellbeing learning.

These evidence‑based pathways — created by NHS clinical psychologists and practitioners — help parents, carers, grandparents, and young people build everyday emotional resilience. Topics include big feelings, how the brain works, and practical relationship tools for happier family life.

Durham County Council has partnered with Togetherness to make these resources freely available to all local families.

💉 Do you know which vaccines your child needs — and when?

The NHS childhood immunisation schedule protects against serious illnesses like:

🦠 Meningitis
🫁 Pneumonia
🤒 Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
🤧 Whooping cough
🦠 Hib, Hepatitis B, Polio, and more

📍From 8 weeks old to 3 years and 4 months, your child is eligible for free, routine vaccines through the NHS. Staying up to date protects not just your child, but everyone around them.

⚠️ New changes apply to children born on or after 1 July 2024, so make sure you're using the right schedule.
