For healthcare

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.

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.
