Place2Be

 

                          

 

Horsenden Primary School works closely with children’s counselling group Place2Be; a fantastic service that helps to support and improve the mental and emotional health and wellbeing of both children and parents from our school community.

 

We believe that all children should have access to support at a young age to encourage positive emotional and mental health. Having access to this service provides our young children with the tools to manage difficulties and changes in a positive way. Below you can find some information from Place2Be and how you can get in touch with them.

 

Place2Be is a national children’s charity working in over 250 schools across the UK, and in 10 in Ealing.

Place2Be offers every child, parent/carer and school staff member access to a range of universal mental health services. We offer a whole school approach.

The Mental Health Practitioner and Counsellor for Place2Be at Horsenden Primary School is Beany Cannon who is in school Mondays and Tuesdays. She is contactable by phone on 0208 422 3854 and email fcannon@horsenden.ealing.sch.uk, or through the school office.
