Place2Be at St Bartholomew’s R C Primary School 

Place2Be is a children’s mental health charity that has been working in St Bartholomew’s R C Primary School for the last seven years. We provide a safe space for children to be themselves.We will come alongside children to give support and equip them to cope with whatever is happening in their lives.

Children come to Place2Be for lots of different reasons, to simply to share how they are feeling that day, as well as times when life has more challenges.

Place2Be at St Bartholomew R C Primary School offers in-school support for children, families and school staff.

These are the services we provide for children:

Place2Talk – a self referral service where children book appointments with a Place2Be counsellor to talk about what is on their mind, this could be worries or it may be an achievement in the day

One to one counselling – weekly counselling using talking, creative work and play for children who may benefit from additional support

Parent counselling – weekly therapeutic support from Parent Counsellors to help families cope with challenges
