PLACE Parent Support


Welcome to the PLACE parent support hub
The PLACE Network aims to develop, promote and sustain parent and carer support 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 below shows some of the mental health focused parent and carer support groups from around the country who are currently members
If you'd like to add your group to this list, please submit the details here.
Thinking about setting up a group or project in your area or attached to your service?
The Charlie Waller Trust offers a range of support:
Life savers. No more words to describe the value of parent peer support
Government 10-year mental health plan
PLACE responded to the government call for evidence for their new 10-year plan to improve mental health
‘Value the importance of Peer Supporters and the impact this can have on care and treatment. Value and utilise experts by experience as a resource and professional that can influence and impact on outcomes.’
PLACE member Monica said:
“Being involved with PLACE has been really fundamental to my own personal growth and development, my own understanding. For me PLACE came along at the most ideal time and became like a real bit of glue for me through the chaos of Covid.”
