This #ChildrensMHW The Duchess talks about the vital role of schools in providing emotional support saying: “Schools are uniquely placed to provide emotional support, working with children and their families – this is something that Place2Be understands. I am incredibly proud to be their Patron.” The four children in the video have all benefited from Place2Be’s ‘whole school’ approach to good mental health which includes a break-time service available to all children who want to talk through and help understand issues that might be troubling them. Children’s Mental Health Week comes as Place2Be publishes a survey of the National Association of Head Teachers’ members revealing that two thirds of all primary schools in England do not have a counsellor in their schools. www.place2be.org.uk
