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.

#Autism is not an illness; it is a spectrum condition that will vary across each area and therefore affect each person differently.

#mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness
As we return to life outside the home, it’s key to understand children’s thoughts and feelings to help them adjust. We have asked a group of children about their experience of #lockdown, and how they view a return to school. https://bit.ly/2YNliVX
#mentalhealth
Surveys have established a worsening of #mentalhealth difficulties for children during the pandemic. Many Child Mental Health Services have been working throughout the lockdown and are ready to take on new referrals.

#anxiety
Often children won’t be aware of, or understand, behaviours that are linked to #mentalhealth conditions. So it may be up to the adults around them to help them understand what they’re going through and seek help on their behalf.
