Sometimes it can be hard or even scary to reach out in person, reaching out online in your own space can be much easier; that is the purpose of the links listed below.
Kooth
Kooth is an online mental wellbeing community. The service is free, confidential and prides itself on creating a safe space for young people to seek support. It is a helpful site to visit if you are feeling sad, anxious or finding life hard and are in need of support. Kooth is not linked to STAC but is known to us as a good source of advice for young people.
