We produce free films and other free resources for teachers, parents and carers, we aim to raise awareness and empower those caring for or working with children to be able to recognise and respond to ALL children’s needs as early as possible.

Who are our resources for:

- Teachers of professionals working with children and young people In schools,

In schools, our resources are typically used as part of a broader mental health education program. Teachers and school counsellors use the resources to train staff on recognizing early signs of mental health issues and to develop strategies for supporting affected students. Our materials can be integrated into classroom activities or used in specialized training sessions. By incorporating our resources into your mental health initiatives, schools are empowered to create a more supportive and informed environment for your students.

Who we work with:

We work with a range of paediatric psychologists, psychiatrists; mental health experts and educationalists (e.g: Dr Bettina Hohnen; Dr Dennis Ourgirn, Dr Sian Williams, and Dr David Trickey and Professor Barry Carpenter to name a few) in order to bridge the gap between experts and families or school communities with often urgently needed qualitative information.

In conjunction with these experts, we also work with children and their families, this is vital and helps contextualise children’s (and the family’s) experiences, to raise awareness and support other families who may feel alone.

UK Trauma Council and King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and Maudsley Charity.
