KOOTH
Kooth works alongside existing NHS services, it is autonomous and aligned closely with the NHS Thrive Framework to help deliver effective mental health care. Kooth will provide support across a spectrum of needs, from an early response, and preventative provision, to more ongoing, structured support for high-risk and severe needs.
Access is immediate with no thresholds, there is no need for a referral, no waiting lists and the service is available 24/7. Kooth is a clinically effective service - measured through goal-based outcomes.
Where appropriate, children can be allocated a named worker, and access structured support through weekly sessions with a specific focus, aim or intended outcome.
