We are delighted to inform you that South Lanarkshire Council has commissioned
the online wellbeing service Kooth, a service delivered by Kooth Digital Health.

Kooth is an integral component of South Lanarkshire’s mental health and wellbeing
provision offering a digital counselling and emotional wellbeing service for young
people.

Kooth is a free online counselling and emotional wellbeing support service providing
children and young people aged 10-18 years (up to 26 if care experienced) across
South Lanarkshire with a safe and secure means of accessing support with their
emotional health and wellbeing needs from a professional team of qualified
counsellors and emotional wellbeing practitioners.

Kooth is a well-established, award winning online counselling service and is
accredited by The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Founded in 2001, they are leading pioneers of online counselling in the UK, having
won a number of prestigious awards.

Kooth has no referrals, thresholds or waiting lists. Children and young people can
access this service anonymously by signing onto the Kooth website. Kooth is open 7
days per week, 365 days a year, with live support and counselling available from noon
until 10pm weekdays and from 6pm until 10pm on Saturday and Sundays. Kooth
provides added value with moderated, scheduled forums and self-help articles (many
written by service users) to provide peer led and self-help support.

Kooth helps to reduce waiting times for children and young people seeking help and
removes stigma around mental health and accessing services. Kooth integrates with
face-to-face local services to ensure a seamless transition through services for
children and young people.

We will also be holding an online information session for parents/carers on Tuesday

21st June at 6.30-7.30pm which can be booked using the following link

Did you know, if you’re aged 16-21 and already have a valid National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot NEC, you can now download free bus travel onto your existing card using the Transport Scot Pass Collect app?

This means you may not need to apply for a replacement.

Leaving school?

There’s lots of support out there, but we know it can be tricky to find information you need, at the right time.

You might find some of this useful now, and some later.

The Tinto Hill climb was a great success! 

All the pupils were brilliant making it to the cut off point and back again in one piece! 

Last Tinto climb our pupils raised roughly £1200.

This year the pupils absolutely SMASHED this with over double raised so far.

Total raised so far is just short of £3500, which is amazing.

Thanks to Mr Strachan for organising this event and to all the staff and pupils who took part.
