$2.6m contract win with new US State

 

Kooth to provide digital mental health services via its Soluna platform in
newly-contracted state for up to 100,000 students

 

Kooth (AIM: KOO), a leading provider of digital mental health services,
announces that it has agreed the terms of a one year contract with an
undisclosed US State (the "State") for the provision of digital mental health
services for up to 100,000 students. The contract has an expected value of
$2.6 million (the "Contract").

 

Under the terms of the Contract, Kooth will deliver mental health support via
its Soluna platform to up to 100,000 students aged 13-18 across the State.
Soluna will allow students to access online behavioural health education
resources, a fully moderated peer community and chat-based counselling
sessions with State-licensed behavioural health professionals. The rollout of
the Contract, which will include take-up across a number of specified school
districts, will be managed through Kooth's existing workforce and new in-State
counsellors.

 

This Contract win provides Kooth with a strong, population-wide platform
within the State to embark on advocacy and partnership building, which Kooth
believes offers the potential to extend services via additional funding. This
funding would be sourced from other partners to provide additional, targeted
support in the future as per the "State Alliance Model" in line with the
Company's continuing strategy.

 

Kooth is now providing services to three US states including California and
the recently-renewed contract in New Jersey.

 

Kate Newhouse, Chief Executive Officer of Kooth, said:

"We are delighted to announce that we have signed a contract with a new US
State to deliver vital digital mental health provision to young people. This
win is indicative of the strength of both our offering and our proven track
record of delivery, as well as the clear need across the US for additional
mental health support in an accessible way. We are proud to be able to deliver
safe and effective behavioural digital mental health support to make a
significant positive difference to the mental health of school students, and
in so doing add a new US state to complement the support we are already
delivering in California and New Jersey."
