Our mission, vision and values

/media/zjgnonna/our-mission-vision-and-values-header.jpg

For over 30 years, we have provided mental health services in schools, guided by our mission, vision, values and approach.

Our mission

Our mission is to improve children and young people’s mental health.

We believe that no child or young person should have to face mental health problems alone.

Our teams across the UK passionately support pupils in managing challenges in their lives.

“Place2Be is a very supportive and reassuring place for people who have serious issues to find their voice. It helps them grow stronger.” Jack, 10 years old

Our vision

Place2Be's vision is for all children and young people to have the support they need to build lifelong coping skills and thrive.

To make this happen, we will:

  • deliver high-quality, clinically-led support in the right place, at the right time
  • deepen our impact in our communities, supporting not just children, but enabling staff, parents, and carers, whilst also developing the mental health workforce
  • demonstrate what works, using evidence to influence policy and inspire lasting change.

Our values

We believe that how we approach our work is as important as the work itself. Our four key values shape everything we do.

Compassion

We bring empathy and kindness to all we do to better understand and meet the needs of children, young people, colleagues, school staff and others.

Integrity

We demonstrate sound ethical values in all of our work and are honest, transparent, courageous and authentic.

Perseverance

We have the courage to continue in the face of adversity and do this with determination to find effective solutions.

Creativity

We bring an open-minded approach and flexibility to our thinking and actions and enable others to do the same.
