We are Nip in the Bud®
Nip in the Bud is a charity that works to recognise and respond to children's mental health needs. We believe that early intervention is key to supporting children. Alis Rocca is an education consultant and coach, having been a teacher and a head teacher in the UK for over 20 years. As a charity, Nip in the Bud works with mental health professionals of the highest standing to produce FREE short evidence-based films, podcasts and fact sheets to help parents, educationalists and others working with children to recognise potential mental health conditions. In these podcast episodes, Alis is in conversation with a variety of guests aiming to share deep and engaging conversations about children's mental health. Guests include a variety of people with lived experiences and research based theories including parents, educationalists and those from the medical profession. We discuss mental health issues which are often linked to a diagnosis or to experiences that children may have which could lead to poor mental health. Areas such as trauma, Autism, ADHD, conduct disorders, PTSD, self-harm, eating disorders, anxiety and depression are covered in our podcasts.In doing so we bring parents, teachers and professionals ideas, support and advice in order to increase the prospects of early intervention for the children and young people you care for. We hope to help avoid conditions becoming more serious in later years. In October 2023 Kitty Nabarro was awarded the Points of Light award for her work in setting up the Nip in the Bud Charity and the impact it is having on improving lives. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wrote to thank her for '...doing incredible work to raise awareness of mental health disorders in children and help avoid conditions becoming more serious as they get older.'
