Place2BE
Ysgol Bryn Teg works with Place2Be, a children’s mental health charity that helps pupils explore their emotions and feel better about themselves.
Children can go to the Place2Be room in school to express themselves through art, playing or talking.
Why is Place2Be useful?
Sometimes children can feel particularly sad, confused, scared or angry.
Maybe something difficult happened at home, like losing a family member or parents separating. Or perhaps they’re struggling with something at school, like bullying.
This can make them behave differently, lose confidence in themselves or find it difficult to concentrate in class.
Place2Be is there to help children find ways to cope, so their worries don’t get in the way of their friendships, their learning or how they feel about themselves.
What does Place2Be do?
Place2Be’s professionals work with children one-to-one or in small groups, giving regular support for pupils who need it.
Children can also book a short appointment to talk about any problems or worries they have – this is called Place2Talk.
How does Place2Be work with adults?
Place2Be provides support and advice for parents and carers, as well as teachers and school staff. Get in touch with the Place2Be staff member below to find out more.
Place2Be always gets agreement from parents or carers before they support a child through one-to-one counselling. They also meet with parents or carers regularly to keep them updated and make sure they are involved from the start.

Place2Be, the children’s mental health charity we partner with, is offering a new online course for parents/carers from our school for free.
The course provides parents and carers with children aged 4-11-years-old with extra tools to deal with everyday parenting challenges and help strengthen your relationship with your child. There is also the opportunity to join discussions with other parents from across the UK.
Designed to fit around busy family lives, the 7-week course can be broken down into short 15-minute sections and you can access it anytime from any device.
The content within the course is based on the latest evidence and experience from Place2Be’s Parenting Team, in partnership with South London and Maudsley-NHS Foundation trust.
