SAFEMinds is all about:

• Enhancing mental health support for children and young people, focusing on mild mood disorders and self-harm.

• Learn how to respond to self-harm in schools using the NIP it in the bud! approach.
• Dive into the NIP it in the bud! Toolkit, including brief intervention kits for Safe and Healthy Bodies and Minds, plus a case study from SAFEMinds Online.
• Practice using the full NIP it in the bud! approach with another case study.
