Kooth Secures One-Year Contract to Deliver Digital Mental Health Services to 100,000 US Students

Under the agreement, Kooth will provide access to its Soluna digital behavioural health platform across specified school districts within the State.

Kooth has agreed the terms of a one-year contract with an undisclosed US State to deliver digital mental health services to up to 100,000 students aged 13–18 through its Soluna platform.

The contract carries an expected value of $2.6 million and marks Kooth’s expansion into an additional US State.

Under the agreement, Kooth will provide access to its Soluna digital behavioural health platform across specified school districts within the State. The platform offers online behavioural health education resources, a fully moderated peer support community, and chat-based counselling sessions delivered by State-licensed behavioural health professionals. The rollout will be managed using Kooth’s existing workforce alongside newly recruited in-State counsellors.

Soluna is designed to provide early access to mental health support for adolescents through digital-first care pathways. The service model combines self-guided tools, peer engagement, and professional counselling, with access available without referrals or waiting lists. Kooth stated that the platform will be made available to eligible students across participating school districts during the contract period.

The new agreement expands Kooth’s presence in the US public sector. The company is currently providing services in three US States, including California and New Jersey, where its contract has been recently renewed. In California, Soluna operates as a statewide digital behavioural health solution for young people.

Kooth said the contract provides a population-level entry point within the State, which may support future service extensions through additional funding and partnerships. Any potential expansion would align with Kooth’s “State Alliance Model,” under which services may be broadened through collaboration with multiple funding partners to deliver targeted mental health support.

Commenting on the development, Kate Newhouse, chief executive officer of Kooth, said the agreement reflects ongoing demand for accessible mental health services for young people in the US and adds another State to Kooth’s existing delivery footprint.

The company confirmed that the announcement contains inside information under Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, as retained in UK law. The disclosure was authorised by Sanjay Jawa, chief financial officer of Kooth.

Kooth provides digital mental and behavioural health services to more than 18 million users across the UK and the US. Its platforms, including Soluna and Qwell, are independently accredited and used across public health, education, and community settings.
