“Children only come this way once. If we don’t help children with their problems, these problems will grow up with them – and when they do, not just children, but society as a whole, pays a very high price.”Head Teacher
“We know that schools have a vital role to play in creating an emotionally healthy culture for children. Schools, however, cannot and should not have to manage all this alone. School leaders and teachers need expert guidance and training to develop their own approaches to supporting children’s mental wellbeing. As its patron, I am incredibly proud of the contribution that Place2Be is making towards exactly this. They are training and guiding thousands of counsellors, and many hundreds of school leaders, teachers and staff, based on the evidence and experience gathered from their frontline work.”
