SAFEMinds: In Practice helps school staff become 'Champions' in using the NIP it in the bud! early intervention approach and the SAFEMinds Toolkit. You’ll also learn how to incorporate SAFEMinds resources into your school’s existing professional development and student wellbeing initiatives.

- 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.
