Description
Nip in the Bud works with professionals to produce FREE online short films and fact sheets to help primary school teachers, parents and others working with children to recognise potential mental health conditions. Our aim is to increase Early Intervention so these conditions can be ‘nipped in the bud’ and so reduce the risk of them becoming entrenched.
Our Information films cover Anxiety, ADHD, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, OCD, PTSD, Self-Harm, Autism Spectrum Condition, Trauma and Dyslexia. The content for our Information Films has been provided by experts from the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Anna Freud, King’s College, Imperial College and others. They are accompanied by Fact Sheets.
Our Real-Life Experience films show interviews with young people and parents who have been affected and who speak frankly and movingly about their experiences. Watch the video below to learn more about what we do.
