Kooth is available to all young people aged between 11 and 18 across Darlington, it is accessible from any internet device. Once registered a young person will have access to support and advice on their emotional wellbeing and mental health. This is provided through self-help resources, peer to peer and professional support.

The 'What's on Kooth in July? resource highlights some of the discussion boards and live forums that can be accessed on the site during the month of July.

Kooth would love to hear from young males about their views on emotional wellbeing and what potential barriers may prevent them from reaching out to access wellbeing support.

For this reason they have developed a survey to hear the voices of young males, which they kindly request you share with any young males you work with. This survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to fill out.

There are two versions of this survey, one for 10-16 yr olds, and a 16+ version:

They are hopeful that any insights they can gain from responses to this survey will help shape their future approach to engaging young boys and men to access mental health and wellbeing support over at Kooth.
