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 recognise and respond to ALL children’s needs as early as possible.

Who are our resources for:

- Teachers or 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 to recognise early signs of mental health issues and develop strategies for supporting affected students. Our materials can be integrated into classroom activities or used in specialised 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; Professor Dennis Ougirn, Dr Sian Williams, and David Trickey (consulting clinical psychologist) and Professor Barry Carpenter and Dr Dasha Nichols to name a few) to bridge the gap between experts and families or school communities with often urgently needed qualitative information.

In conjunction with these experts, we also get input from children and their families, who speak frankly and movingly. This is vital and helps contextualise children’s (and the families') experiences, to raise awareness and support other families who may feel alone.

An example of some of the teams that feature our resources and collaborate with us are Coram Life Education, Mentally Healthy Schools, Place 2 Be, ChickenShed Theatre, Children and Young People's Mental Health Coalition (CYPMHC), South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and NCL Waiting Rooms NHS.
