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.

“The specialist treatment chairs are a new vital resource for the therapy team and nursing staff to be able to safely and comfortably sit extremely complex, dependant, critical care patients out of bed. The chairs allow us to begin the patient’s rehabilitation journey by providing appropriate postural support at the same time as pressure relief to allow the patient to build the muscle strength to hold themselves up against gravity. This allows them to begin to interact with their environment in a more normal way, enabling them to participate in meaningful activities such as meal times and activities of daily living.”
