What we do
We produce evidence-based short films and factsheets to help teachers, parents, carers and others working with children to help recognise any potential mental health issues in Primary School aged children. These are freely available on our website Nip in the Bud.
We believe passionately that early intervention reduces the risk of these issues becoming more serious in later years.
Our aims are to:
-
Provide a peer led, peer delivered education and support service where people can learn from each other’s insights, skills and lived experience.
-
Nurture a community of warriors and survivors towards a sense of belonging and acceptance for who, what and how they are.
-
Enable connection and friendship
-
Provide opportunities that allow students to aspire to be their best selves.
