It’s Children’s Mental Health Week from 5-11 February, and this year’s theme is ‘My Voice Matters’.
Our recent report showcases how listening to the voices of young people underpins everything we do. 98% of young people said it was important or very important that they had a choice in how they received support on Kooth. Young people can choose from therapeutic content and peer support, to single-session chats and more structured, ongoing work with professionals. Kooth provides young people with the autonomy to choose the support they want, when they need it.
This Children’s Mental Health Week, you can book a 30-minute session to stream live to students. The session will encourage them to consider why their voice matters, why other people’s voices matter, and the value of effective communication:
Children’s Mental Health Week: My voice matters: 5th, 7th & 9th Feb. 10am and 2pm
