What is Kooth?   KOOTH wins local government IT excellence award 2008

kooth.comKooth.com solves a significant problem for vulnerable young people and local authorities.

The web-based counselling service provides young people with a free, confidential, safe, always accessible and, above all, anonymous and non-threatening way of asking for help when they first need it.

It enables local authorities to intervene early with regard to difficult emotional and mental health problems being encountered by vulnerable young people. In so doing, they are able to prevent young people from getting into trouble and entering the care system.

Kooth.com is a public-private partnership between Xenzone and Stockport Council and is live in eleven LA areas.
