Place2Be
Place2Be is a children's mental health charity providing school-based support and in-depth training programmes to improve the emotional wellbeing of pupils, families, teachers and school staff.
Place2Be helps to improve the prospects of children aged 4–14 years, by tackling the complex social and emotional issues that often lie behind the challenging behaviour and educational underperformance.
90% of young offenders had a mental disorder as a child.
50% of those with lifetime mental health issues first experience symptoms by the age of 14.
Why support Place2Be?
Thousands of vulnerable children in some of the country’s toughest neighbourhoods depend on Place2Be every single day. The costs of not providing early mental health support are considerable: children suffer, costs to the public rise and society loses the potential of another individual.
Being school-based enables children to reach support when they need it, in a safe and accessible environment. Place2Be rely on your support to reach these children and their families.
Thank you for your support.
