Strengthening Midlands communities through early mental health support

Local organisations - from councils and charities to youth services - are at the heart of supporting young people’s wellbeing. Yet across communities, challenges are growing:

Rising levels of anxiety, loneliness, and low self-esteem among young people

Increased safeguarding concerns as families struggle to access timely support

Strain on local services and resources, with more young people in need than capacity allows

Gaps between early need and specialist provision, leaving too many to cope alone

Prevention is key. Offering early, accessible support reduces the risk of crisis, strengthens resilience in communities, and eases pressure on already stretched local services.

That’s where Kooth can help.

Free, safe, and anonymous mental health support for ages 10+ across the UK

Immediate access – no referral, no waiting list

24/7 resources including self-help articles, journals, and moderated peer support

Qualified practitioners available daily, giving young people professional help before things escalate

Community-wide impact, supporting population health and reducing pressure on schools, health, and social services

By ensuring every young person can access support, we can build stronger, healthier communities - and free up capacity for local organisations to focus where they are needed most.
