Kooth & Qwell webinars
I wanted to make you aware of our upcoming Kooth & Qwell webinars for professionals working in Cheshire & Merseyside.
Kooth.com and Qwell.io are free, safe and anonymous sites that offer mental health and wellbeing support to young people and adults across Cheshire & Merseyside. We are staffed by our fully trained and qualified counselling team who are available until 10pm each night, 365 days per year.
The sites also feature self help tools including online journaling and mindfulness techniques. We have a community space on our magazine and discussion boards where any users can give and receive advice and support from others.
During our webinars, we will give an overview of the support available on Kooth (our young person’s service commissioned across Cheshire & Merseyside) and Qwell (our adult’s service commissioned in the Wirral, Knowsley & St Helens). There will also be clinical and safeguarding information shared and an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about our services.
