Nip in the Bud

Nip in the Bud works with mental health professionals, neurodivergence experts, and educationalists to create short films for adults caring for or working with children aged 3–11. Our resources draw equally on research, professional insights, and the experiences of children, young people, and families. We help adults recognise when a child may be experiencing challenges - whether related to neurodivergence, emotional wellbeing, or mental health - and show what steps to take next. 
Topics include anxiety, low mood, eating difficulties, OCD, ADHD, trauma, behaviour challenges, self-harm risk, and life across the autism spectrum. Our aim is to support children’s confidence, well-being, and inclusion, while providing clear guidance, fact sheets, and links to specialist support.
