AMHIE have been chatting with Kooth, an NHS – commissioned, BACP – accredited digital mental health service. They provide free, safe, and anonymous support for children and young people. From self-help tools and moderated peer support to professional counselling, they help students build resilience and develop coping strategies as they navigate school life and beyond. Kooth compliments pastoral, DSL & MHST teams, offering out-of-school-hours support from their team of mental health practitioners.
With increasing pressures on young people’s mental health, you’re often the first to see the impact – whether it’s anxiety around exams, struggles with self-esteem, or the additional challenges faced by students with Special Educational Needs. But finding the right support isn’t always easy.
By signposting students to kooth.com, you can ensure every young person – no matter their challenges – has a trusted space to turn to. Visit connect.kooth to find out more and help your students access support today.
