Mental Health - support from Kooth
We work closely with an organisation called Kooth who can also offer support.
Kooth (www.kooth.com) is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accredited and NHS commissioned service, providing a free, safe and non-judgemental place for young people to connect with others and know they are not alone.
They have instant access to self-help materials, live moderated discussion forums and tools such as online journals and goal trackers.
Young people can also contribute written pieces of work reflecting their own experiences, as well as accessing drop-in or booked sessions with professional counsellors from 12pm-10pm weekdays and 6pm-10pm at weekends. Kooth is available to young people across Sheffield aged 11-18.
