(For professionals) |
| GP’s & healthcare professionals are invited to join one of our webinars which forms a series of events this winter as we ensure adult patients in your area can access earlier mental health support with the view to reduce pressure on frontline NHS services. | During November, there is significantly more attention given to male mental health, due to the Movember campaign. Whilst this is fantastic, at Kooth, we believe such conversations should be happening all year round. This webinar will explain how Kooth can support young men. | Are you a professional working with children or young people?
