Kooth and Qwell are free, safe and anonymous online mental wellbeing services available to people across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
- Kooth supports young people aged 11-18.
- Qwell supports adults aged 18+, including parents and carers.
Users can access:
- Confidential text-based support from qualified practitioners.
- Helpful articles, self-help tools and wellbeing resources.
- Moderated peer support communities and discussion forums.
- Support without a referral or waiting list.
Professional support is available 365 days a year, including evenings, weekends and school holidays, making it easy to access help when it is needed most.
Kooth can complement support already being provided through schools, counselling services, Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) or CAMHS, giving young people another trusted route to support their emotional wellbeing.
Schools can also access free virtual wellbeing assemblies, delivered by the local Kooth Engagement Team, helping raise awareness of the service and encouraging pupils to seek help early if they need it.
