About Place2be

• Place2Be is a children's mental health charity providing high-quality mental health services in schools
• Their mission is to improve children and young people’s mental health. They believe no child or young person should have to face mental health problems alone
• Using an effective whole school approach which is backed by research and combines several ways of working.

Why is Place2be useful

Sometimes children can feel particularly sad, confused, scared or angry.

Maybe something difficult happened at home, like losing a family member or parents separating. Or perhaps they’re struggling with something at school, like issues with friendship groups. This can make them behave differently, lose confidence in themselves or find it difficult to concentrate in class.

Place2Be is there to help children find ways to cope, so their worries don’t get in the way of their friendships, their learning or how they feel about themselves.

What does Place2be do?

Ms Shahanaz is our Place2be Mental Health Practitoner. Ms Shahanaz can support children to navigate their feelings, build resilience and develop essential coping skills. This could be via 1:1 sessions with Ms Shahanaz, Place2Talk, group activities or workshops.

How can I get help from Place2be?

Children can refer themselves to place2talk via the post boxes in school. If as a parent you have concerns please speak to Mrs Langley or Mr Fitzpatrick who can make a referral for you.
