Over the coming weeks your child may mention they have been made aware by school
or a professional of a service called Kooth. It is free and available for all 10-25 year olds
in Lewisham, Bexley and Bromley. It provides a safe, secure means of accessing online
emotional health support from a professional team of qualified counsellors and
emotional wellbeing practitioners.
Kooth offers wellbeing support 365 days a year via a vast range of self-help materials,
peer to peer support and young people are able to contribute too. Kooth also has an
online wellbeing team from midday to 10pm Monday to Friday and 6pm-10pm at
weekends – they provide online counselling via live chat or messaging.
Kooth is free to access via a mobile phone, laptop or tablet – your child simply needs to
visit www.kooth.com and click ‘Join Kooth’. Everything is pre-moderated and age
appropriate, in order to safeguard our users, so you know that what your child is
accessing is safe.
Kooth will be working with all schools and professionals across 86% of the UK and
growing to support students mental health and wellbeing, both in and out of school.
Alongside this, Kooth provides parent sessions, so keep in touch with the school or
agencies to find out when the next ones are.
Kooth also offers virtual assemblies in schools, staff training and workshops for students,
as well as ongoing support from our integration and participation workers.
