Mental health support for parents and carers

We work with schools to support children’s mental health.

As part of this, we offer the parents of children in the schools we work in counselling to help support their child or young person’s wellbeing.

With schools closed as a result of coronavirus, some parents and carers may be looking for activities to try at home with their children.

Place2Be works in schools to help children and young people explore their emotions and feel better.

As a parent or carer, you play a key role in teaching your child or young person how to manage their feelings.

Our expert advice will help young children and their families get ready for this big step together.
