Learning about Children’s Mental Health through Film
Nip in the Bud works with mental health professionals to produce short films and fact sheets to help parents, primary school teachers and others caring for and working with children to recognise potential mental health conditions. The goal is to increase the prospects of early intervention and to reduce the risks of those conditions becoming more serious in later years.
Our films cover Anxiety Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). We will continue to add more films.
Watch our films
Our films illustrate the behaviours common in different mental health conditions in children along with explanations for them, and information as to how to follow up and get help.
We also provide downloadable fact sheets explaining different conditions with information about their symptoms and advice on how to get help.
