As an organisation that has adopted the BACP ethical framework of good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, counsellors working within the organisation are dedicated to improving the mental health and well-being of the children they work with.</p>
<ul type="disc">
    <li>Place2Be provides a high level of support to counsellors on placement through regular supervision, tailored training workshops and offers a well-recognised clinical placement*.</li>

  <p><strong>What is Mental Health Together +?</strong></p> <p>In Kent and Medway, the community mental health transformation has created a new service model called Mental Health Together.</p> <p>It is a multi-agency offer, which means bringing all the services and agencies that support people with varying mental health needs much closer together. This ensures that people get the right care, without having to navigate service boundaries and without repeatedly telling their story.</p> <p>Mental Health Together will introduce new roles as part of a new, joined-up model of care that bridges the current gap between primary care (i.e., GPs) and community mental health (i.e., KMPT). It will treat people with complex mental health needs by:</p>  <ul>  <li>Providing someone with support in a person-centred, holistic way</li>  <li>Removing barriers to access, and thresholds across services, working together</li>  <li>Involving service users and carers as equal partners in their care</li>  <li>Building in involvement and co-production at all levels of service design and delivery</li>  <li>Delivering needs-led and personalised trauma-informed care.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://vimeo.com/762319583" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/762319583</a></p>
