​​Leafyard is a web application that combines science and behavioural research to motivate people to take control of their own mental health. It offers a range of evidence-based interventions, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, exercise, and journaling, all designed to help users improve their mental fitness and well-being. Leafyard is unique as it uses AI to create personalised guidance for each user based on their individual needs and goals. 

​

The main feature of Leafyard is our video course. Leafyard delivers very short 5-10 minute videos to the user, typically twice a week, that contain real-world activities that motivate the user to try out new wellbeing techniques in their daily lives without anyone noticing. The long-running nature, practical application and repetition of this process results in measurable habit change. 

​

Leafyard includes: 

• Scientifically proven mental health advice and approaches.
• Simple, accessible, and entertaining CBT training.
• A personalised mental fitness programme. 
• Structured and freeform journaling. 
• Guided meditation. 

​

Fundamentally, Leafyard aims to solve the national mental health crisis by motivating users to take action on their mental health. 1/4 people will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime (Mind). The NHS is not equipped to cope with the demand. As part of an independent review, a mental health research team at King's College London found that, by offering “CBT based guided self-help”, Leafyard fills a capability gap in the “prevent”, “detect” and “treat” space. 

​

Users credit Leafyard with helping them to implement healthy habits into their lives. One user from the Police Force described it as an ‘excellent product that has helped me rethink the way I deal with stress’. An armed forces veteran echoed this praise, stating that ‘I’m already embarking on positive changes’. 

​

By improving the mental health of its users, Leafyard is a solution to workplace wellbeing, employee satisfaction, and reduced overhead. Mental health costs companies £42-45 billion a year. Whereas companies with workplace wellbeing support have a 4:1 increase in ROI (Deloitte).
