Nip in the Bud works with mental health professionals of the highest standing to produce FREE short evidence-based films and fact sheets to help parents, educationalists and others working with children to recognise potential mental health conditions. The goal is to increase the prospects of early intervention and to avoid those conditions becoming more serious in later years. We spoke to CEO Kitty Nabarro about Nip in the Bud for Children’s Mental Health Week.
How long have you been going?
We launched the national charity Nip in the Bud with 6 short films and fact sheets in November 2017. Six years on we have 80 films, fact sheets, blogs and have recently started releasing one podcast a month.
What has been the greatest reward since being with the charity?
The biggest reward has been being recognised with a Points of Award by the Prime Minister!
How can people get involved?
We would love to hear from anyone who might be interested in joining the team as a Trustee, ideally someone who is interested in mental health in children, and who might have a background in marketing and can help us spread the word about the charity or knowledge of fundraising.
Any big things happening within your charity in the next month you’d like to shout about?
The new films we are working on to release in the next couple of months are:
Stigma: Shame and secrecy around mental health in children
Grief and Me: Young People share their experience
We are also working on producing a series of 7 short films – Tips for Parents. (these will be using a similar model to our Tips for Teachers series found here.
Watch their newest film, created for Children’s Mental Health Week, entitled ‘My Voice Matters’ here.
