If you've been affected by crime, help is available

Kooth is part of the Victim of Crime service for any young person in Devon or Cornwall who has experienced a crime. Through our team of support workers, we provide emotional and practical help for young people.

If you've been affected by crime, we are here to help. Kooth is a safe place to talk about incidents and their impacts, process emotions, report crimes, find answers, and figure out what to do next. 

You do not need to have reported a crime to the police. If there is something that has happened that you are unhappy about, we can support you.

There are lots of ways to find the support you need:
