Kooth
A free, safe and anonymous online mental wellbeing community.
Making an account at Kooth is quick and straightforward. Users need to provide a few bits of personal information, but nothing that could identify an individual. This includes articles from the Kooth team and other service users, exploring different aspects of health, wellbeing, and day-to-day life. There are also discussion boards around particular questions or concerns, and various spaces that individuals can use for themselves such as a journal, mini-activities designed to support mental wellbeing and a goal-setting area. Users can also send a message to the Kooth team or access a live text-based conversation with a practitioner (open 12-10pm Mon-Fri and 6-10pm Sat and Sun).
