Programme update 

Thank you for your interest in Place2Think, we've now reached full capacity. If you would like to find out what other support Place2Be can offer, please get in touch via our enquiries form.

What is it? 

Guided by Place2Be clinicians, groups of 7-9 peers meet monthly to share experiences of mental health in the school community. These sessions offer a chance to download and recharge in a safe environment, giving renewed energy for the challenges of your role. 

You will have the opportunity to learn about mental health, build your network and make space to support your mental health, and that of your school, during this exceptionally challenging time. 

Place2Think follows a format of shared learning known in therapeutic and social care contexts as group supervision; this usage of the word supervision is relatively new to education, although not completely unknown.  

In this context, it has no relation to line management or being supervised. It is about learning skills and tools for enabling you to take a perspective on your work, which might not always be available when you’re in the thick of it.  

What can we help with? 

• Supporting anxiety
• Issues in the playground or classroom
• Building resilient relationships with children and young people 
• Reflecting on our emotional responses to children and young people
• Practising self-care, managing stress 
• Devising a whole-school approach to mental health

What it isn't

Place2Think is not a taught programme, group therapy or line management.
