We’re delighted to launch a new blog for the Hummingbird Project, where we’ll feature longer and more in-depth articles than the news stories we publish here. The team involved in the project, including psychologists from three universities, will explain more about the research and science behind the six-week course, which has helped nearly 7,500 children at schools in the North West learn to take care of their mental health.

The initial post is by the Hummingbird Project Development Manager, Catherine North, who tells us where the idea for the project first came from, and how partnership working and collaboration helped to make it a reality. You can read the article below.

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
