Our dedicated parent service - A Place for Parents – is open to all mothers, fathers, grandparents and carers whose children are being supported by The Place2Be.
It provides a safe space within school where parents can work with an experienced professional to explore and express their own thoughts and feelings.
Typical issues include lack of self-confidence or self esteem, doubts about being a ‘good enough' parent, bereavement, and mental health issues such as depression, drinking problems, and moving on from domestic violence.
The service is free and confidential.
How families benefit
Our aim is for parents to become more self-aware, to gain in confidence and to develop ways of coping.
This makes them more at ease in their parenting roles and better able to develop positive and supportive relationships with their children.
A Place for Parents is currently available in Brent, Croydon, Durham, Edinburgh, Greenwich, Medway, Nottingham, and Southwark Hubs and the service is gradually being rolled out across our other hubs.
