"With the winter break fast approaching, at Kooth Digital Health we appreciate there will be some young people who may struggle during the holidays without the access to the daily pastoral support, trusted adults and friends that the school community provides. Equally, seasonal illness and the closure of many services at this time of year can lead to extended wait times across both adult and young people's NHS and community services.
Kooth will remain open for children to access at any time over the winter period.
You're not alone - Kooth is still available to access during the Winter holiday period.
If you or someone you know needs extra mental wellbeing support during the holiday season, Kooth are here.

Good morning
As part of World Mental Health Day at the start of the week, our Mental Health Support Team (MHST) has created a short survey for parents. This will help us understand parent’s views on MHSTs and as a result improve our service to children and young people.
We would appreciate if you could share this survey link to parents in your schools and promote the link on your school website.
