Letter to Solihull school headteachers from Solihull MBC dated 20th October 2016
Letter from Anne Longfield and Johnny Gwynne regarding helping children and young people stay safe on and offline.
Kooth is an online counselling and emotional well-being support service for children and young people. Kooth is a completely safe and an anonymous website where young people can go to gain advice, support and guidance from our BACP qualified counsellors, up to 10pm, 365 days a year.
Our experienced counsellors, moderated message forums and magazine can offer emotional support to young people with a wide range of issues, from having a bad day or falling out with their friends, to more serious issues such as bullying, stress, anxiety, depression, family relationships, sexuality, eating disorders, self-harm, abuse etc. We can also support young people who are on the waiting list for CAMHS or those who do not meet their criteria.
For year 6 students who will soon be transitioning to secondary schools it may be an exciting time but may also cause anxiety and stress in others. Kooth has supported many year 6 students at this stage by discussing Kooth’s services and how it can provide additional support and guidance should they wish. Kooth can also support vulnerable young people who may experience isolation or low self-esteem and help build their resilience for the big changes ahead.
If you would like to have a discussion or arrange for a short presentation to be delivered to your students please contact Jas Hothi, jhothi@xenzone.com or call 07949 819503.

Please ensure the video is used to supplement the materials already issued, and contextualised, so it is not shown in isolation.
