Bringing mental health support to schools with digital therapies

Xyla, part of Acacium Group has partnered with schools in Hertfordshire to deliver flexible, digital mental health support to children and young people (CYP) with special educational needs. By embedding therapy into school and home settings, Xyla is helping to remove barriers to access and reduce pressure on NHS CAMHS services.

This innovative approach is transforming how early intervention is delivered – making support more accessible, timely and effective.

Key statistics

• 54 children and young people referred in 7 months
• 300+ cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) sessions delivered
• 86% of CYP with paired scores showed a reduction in symptom severity

Impact

• Flexible delivery – sessions held in school, at home and outside school hours
• Streamlined referrals – schools identify and refer students quickly via a secure platform
• Clinically validated – evidence-based therapy delivered by qualified professionals
• Positive outcomes – parents report improved confidence, communication and wellbeing

“They will really miss their sessions, they have helped so much… Your sessions gave our child the confidence to find themselves and overcome a lot of challenges.” – Parent
