Here's what you need to know.

⛴️ Last month we took a trip north to visit Cassia who delivers our services in Orkney primary schools.
The positive impact was evident: one headteacher told us that Place2Be was “one of the most important interventions we have ever had for mental health and wellbeing".👇
🗨️ "I am moved by the respect and affection school staff show their pupils, and by the strong sense of collective responsibility shown for them."
Follow Place2Be counsellor, Cassia, as she reflects on her work within the Orkney community in Scotland. 👉 https://t.co/Wk6R2KDIue

💛 Thank you for your support, every donation helps us reach more children with our in-school mental health support - giving them the lifelong coping skills they need to thrive.
💜 Supporting Two Incredible Causes
