Kooth is a service which supports children and young people with their emotional health and wellbeing.
Kooth is a free, web based, confidential support service funded by the CCG in Lancashire. Kooth provides a safe and secure means of accessing mental health and wellbeing support designed specifically for young people aged 10 - 16.
Kooth offers young people the opportunity to have a text-based conversation with a qualified counsellor. Counsellors are available from 12noon to 10pm on weekdays and 6pm to 10pm at weekends, every day of the year on a drop-in basis. Young people can access regular booked online counselling sessions as needed. Outside counselling hours’ young people can message our team and get support by the next day.
When young people register with Kooth they will have support available to them now and in the future. Support can be gained not only through counselling but through articles, forums and discussion boards. All content is age appropriate, clinically approved and fully moderated.
