Books and advice
The Place2Be
The Place2Be works inside schools to support and nurture children. They provide one-to-one and group counselling sessions, plus a drop-in service open to all school pupils.
The Place2Be is a charity that gives young children a space where they can express their feelings through talking, creative activities and play. It helps children to share their emotions and fears and to develop self-esteem and coping skills.
The Place2Be helps those children at primary level deal with problems which otherwise may become much more serious and entrenched by the time they reach secondary school.
