For healthcare

Kooth is here to help you signpost patients to the support they need.

Why Kooth - our message to GPs and healthcare professionals

Free training and resources for GP practices

With long waiting lists affecting mental health support, meeting the needs of young patients can be challenging, especially when we know that issues can escalate over time. YoungMinds research shows 58% of young people felt their mental health got worse while waiting for support.

According to The Independent, over 1.5 million adults and over 540,000 children were in contact with mental health services as of March 2024, highlighting the overwhelming demand across all age groups and the strain on timely access to care.

Kooth and Qwell offer a solution: free, confidential online mental health support with no waiting lists or referrals. We are NHS commissioned and BACP accredited, providing safe and professional in-the-moment support.

How we can support you and your team

Staff training for effective patient signposting We offer free staff training sessions tailored to your needs, that can be delivered during your Protected Learning Time (PLT). These sessions will give your team the confidence to recommend Kooth to patients in need. These sessions show how Kooth complements your practice’s existing services, providing immediate support for those on waiting lists or not meeting CAMHS thresholds. To book a session, please complete this form. Digital and print resources for easy patient access Help us raise awareness by displaying our Kooth materials, available in various formats:

  • Digital display banners for your waiting room notice boards - ready for easy download.

  • SMS outreach messages to share information with patients through your digital communication system.

  • Printed posters for public areas, including the back of washroom doors.

  • Wallet cards for GPs and nurses to share with patients during consultations.
