About Place2Be

Charity Category:  Children & Young People Website:  http://place2be.org.uk

Mental health Health & Medical Children & Education
For over 30 years, Place2Be has worked to ensure no child has to face mental health alone.

Our mission is to improve the mental wellbeing and prospects of children and young people, and our teams work passionately to support children and young people in managing challenges in their lives such as anxiety, bulling or self-harm.

Through in-school counselling services, training for teachers and support for parents, we strive to create nurturing school communities that empower children and young people to thrive both emotionally and academically. 

With one in five children and young people now having a probable mental health condition, our work has never been more needed.

Your Impact

Why is our work needed now more than ever?
  • 50% of mental health conditions start by the age of 14.
  • There are 1 million children and young people currently on the NHS waiting list.
  • 1 in 5 pupils are persistently absent from school.


We know that what we do works, and by providing support early we prevent problems escalating and being carried into adulthood. 77% of children and 89% of young people said their mental health improved after Place2Be one-to-one counselling.

79% of school staff and teachers said they felt more confident to support children's mental health, and 90% of parents and carers said they found the support helpful, and that they felt more equipped to respond to their child's emotional needs.

We hope you'll join us and become part of this change.
