What is Kooth?

Kooth is an online mental healthcare service which aims to provide mental health service to individuals under the age of 21.  Kooth is different from a lot of other mental healthcare services that are based online in that it allows for a variety of things that the person can do, including talking to a community, talking to a professional, and having an online journal in which they can write.
