Adam was referred to Place2Be when his teacher found that he'd struggled to manage his emotions resulting in angry outbursts towards staff and peers.
Adam had a difficult time at home when his parents split up and his mother leaving the family home with his younger siblings.
At the start of his one-to-one sessions, Adam was reserved and untrusting but clear in what he wanted from therapy: "to work on what had gone wrong and how he could avoid making mistakes in the future".
Your valuable donation will go directly to children and young people get vital support.
could help support a child’s mental health
could help a child access immediate support with a counsellor to talk about whatever might be on their mind
could pay for a child to share their thoughts and feelings in a one-to-one counselling session.
Adam and his Place2Be counsellor explored boundaries and the importance of setting healthy boundaries to build strong friendships. Through the sessions Adam became better able to understand his feelings, was less confrontational and could now express his needs. Adam found the process helped immensely.
Your support can transform the lives of children and young people.
Over 75% of children and young people need access to mental health support services that they’re not receiving. That’s where you come in. Your gift can help provide one-to-one counselling for children and young people who need it.
After having one-to-one counselling, 89% of 11 to 18 year olds had improved mental health.
Your donation could help another young person access this vital mental health support.
Your support helps to equip young people like Adam with the resilience and coping skills they need to thrive.
The Big Give Christmas Challenge gives lots of charities and organisations access to matched funding, which means that any donations made to Place2Be through the Big Give website will be doubled.
The Big Give Challenge starts on midday 3 December and runs until midday 10 December.
The Big Give Matching Funding allows supporters and donors to double their donation.
How does it work?
When you donate to Place2Be through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, your donation will be matched, thanks to pledges from existing Place2Be supporters and a champion donor who supports through the Big Give.
Find out more about Matched Funding on the Big Give website.
Don't worry if you missed the chance to have your donation doubled through the Big Give from 3-10 December! You can still support children and young people's mental health by donating directly to Place2Be.
