PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

Camden Council and the NHS have partnered up with online counselling experts Kooth, to bring their free online wellbeing and mental health care services to young people in Camden aged 11 to 18.

The service allows children and young people to chat to a qualified counsellor, through instant messaging, via an online drop-in or booked session.

Young people are also encouraged to write their own articles, read articles by other young people, participate in moderated online forums and keep track of their mental health and wellbeing through online journals and goal trackers.

Kooth is brought to Camden by XenZone, the UK’s leading experts in digital mental health, and the joint young people’s health and wellbeing commissioning team for north central London.

The service does not have any waiting lists or thresholds and does not require referrals.

Young people can visit kooth.com and sign up now.
