Summer activity sheets
If you're working with young people during the summer holidays, we have 17 activity sheets that are available on request from your local engagement lead.
Here's our 'Understanding the masks we wear' activity, designed to help young people visualise and reflect on the parts of themselves they may want to present to others and the parts they may hide.
Breaking the Stigma: Kooth's new short film
Introducing 'Breaking the Stigma', our new short film around men's mental health.
Five male Kooth staff members came together in Sheffield to share their experiences, discussing the challenges men can face and how they prioritise their well-being.
Why not show our video to young people you work with to raise awareness and get young men talking? We recommend this video for ages 17+. Watch here

Kooth Community Corner
Here's what some of our service users had to say about Kooth:
'The team at kooth is so helpful and always have been supportive with anything no matter how big or small. For someone who wants help but isn't ready to tell someone they know, it's a great option. Also Kooth doesn't need a referral and you can start using it straight away. I do wish there was more support places like Kooth.'
'I love this website, I can talk to both the Kooth team and also young people who might be able to relate. It has definitely helped me and I think it will help me in future. I recommend it 100%!!!'
