Who we support in Wales

We currently offer our services in 20 schools located in South and West Wales. The communities we work in face many challenges, including poverty, domestic violence and complex needs.

Place2Talk is a mental health service that allows pupils to make an appointment to spend 15–30 minutes with a trained counsellor, alone or with a friend, to discuss any issues they might have. Issues discussed within Place2Talk in Wales include:

• friendships

• worry

• sadness

• loss and bereavement

• anger

• relationships with siblings

• relationships with parents and carers.

How many children and young people we reach in Wales

We currently offer our services in 20 South and West Wales schools, providing many services to reach the whole school. You can learn more about the services for parents and carers, children and young people and school staff on our Services in schools pages.
