Mental health support that meets children and young people where they are
Engaging young people through the care pathway
Putting young people at the centre of their care
Step 1: Population support
- Young People's mental health support starts long before a referral is made to local services
- Anonymous population-level support helps to promote self-management and build emotional resilience skills in young people
- WYSA’s AI enables 24/7 access to support whilst routine outcome measures are collected to provide anonymous feedback and insights for commissioners
- Our customised risk pathway also ensure young people who have a higher level of need are signposted on as needed
Step 2: From assessment through treatment
- Wysa’s AI can support users who have a higher need to refer to the local service and continues to support them once accepted
- AI checks in every morning and evening
- Wysa's AI is clinically proven to create a therapeutic alliance equivalent to a human therapist within the first week
- For day-to-day stress, Wysa offers on-demand self-care through 150+ evidence-based exercises, including resources for anxiety, sleep, handling difficult conversations, and improving productivity
Step 3: Recovery
- Moving on from a service can be a challenging time for a young person and their family
- Continued access to Wysa’s self-management tools for up to a year provides consistency in support and helps young people to continue with home practice and reflection when needed
- This is shown to decrease the likelihood of re-referral
"It’s encouraging to know that our children will be able to access mental health and wellbeing support as and when they need it, in a safe way, and that any worrying triggers will alert local mental health support services. Parents and teachers worry about the advice that pupils are receiving on social media, and the echo chambers created in closed peer networks. The teenage years can be very challenging, and the more we can support our pupils to be mentally healthy, in ways that feel comfortable for them, the better. Wysa is likely to appeal to our students, yet provides a safe and clinically robust tool, built-in to our local mental health support groups, so we are looking forward to seeing how this changes things."

Youth Report
Discover the truth about teenage mental health needs with our groundbreaking research.
We surveyed over 1400 UK based teenagers, aged 13 to 17, to find out what's troubling them, where they seek support, and whether that support is making a difference. We even conducted a mental health assessment, asking those who showed significant levels of depression and anxiety why they hadn't sought professional help.
Our report reveals a mental health crisis of unprecedented magnitude and sheds light on what young people are experiencing right now.
55%
of young people who screened highly for mental health need had never spoken to a professional
75%
of young people experience stress or worry outside of traditional service hours
78%
of young people would rather speak to an AI then a teacher
“Wysa will be invaluable to the quieter students who don’t speak up and ask for help when they need it. It will also help give them the confidence to speak to staff in the future.”
