# Place 2 Be

#### Place 2 Be

We provide mental health and wellbeing services to pupils in our partner schools to help contribute to a whole-school approach to mental health. Services for pupils in our partner schools are split into universal and targeted services.

“*The Place2Be session was really good in a way that I could just release everything. I could let everything go.”*

**Universal mental health services**

Every pupil at a Place2Be partner school has access to our universal mental health services, which include:

- [whole-class work, resources and activities](https://www.place2be.org.uk/our-services/schools/mental-health-services-for-pupils/#whole-class)
- [Place2Talk support service](https://www.place2be.org.uk/our-services/schools/mental-health-services-for-pupils/#place2talk) — a break-time counselling service available to all pupils through self-referral.

**Targeted mental health services**

If a child or young person is identified as needing additional support, they may receive a mental health assessment. This assessment allows us to determine if we can provide them with more targeted interventions that might help them.

Our **targeted mental health services** include:

- [one-to-one counselling](https://www.place2be.org.uk/our-services/schools/mental-health-services-for-pupils/#counselling)
- [group work](https://www.place2be.org.uk/our-services/schools/mental-health-services-for-pupils/#groupwork) — a programme that uses creative exercises to improve self-confidence and resilience
- [CBT-informed therapy](https://www.place2be.org.uk/our-services/schools/mental-health-services-for-pupils/#KIT) — a cognitive behavioural therapy available to secondary and high schools only
- [parent-child training sessions](https://www.place2be.org.uk/our-services/schools/mental-health-services-for-pupils/#PIPT) — parent-child training available to primary schools only.

Various **digital support tools** are also available to pupils in our partner schools. These tools include:

- [Kooth](https://www.kooth.com/) — a mental wellbeing community where pupils can find online support and counselling
- [Shout](https://giveusashout.org/) — a 24/7 text messaging crisis support service.
