PLACE Parent Carer Peer Support Network
Welcome to PLACE
There is always a PLACE for parents and carers in children & young people’s mental health.
PLACE provides a structured safe space to support individuals/organisations who are providing or establishing parent-carer support (PCPS) in CYPMH.
The PLACE Network aims to develop, promote and sustain parent and carer support (PCPS) and involvement in children and young people’s mental health across the UK.
Parents and carers with lived experience of supporting a child with mental health issues and professionals with an interest in parent support meet monthly to share practice and ideas.
One of the key objectives of the PLACE Network is to connect existing parent and carer support groups/projects or those with an interest in developing one.
Our interactive map shows some of the mental health focused parent and carer support groups from around the country who are currently members.
