We've delivered the Hummingbird Project in 66 North-West schools and over the years we've met hundreds of dedicated, caring teachers and school staff who put children and young people's wellbeing at the heart of everything they do. We'd like to thank them all. #ThankATeacher

A Happy New Year to you all! We're back in schools starting this week with St Bede's Academy in Bolton, Kingsland School in Oldham, and St Edmund's RC Primary School in Salford. Below is some feedback from a pupil following our last visit to St Bede's Academy. #PositivePsychology

This drawing by a pupil at @SchoolHeys in Prestwich is a great illustration of the difference between growth and fixed mindsets and the different emotions we feel as a result of our thoughts and beliefs.

When we think about anxiety in children, we often picture lots of worrying. But anxiety can show up in so many different ways.

Today is #WorldKindnessDay! Being kind to others and to ourselves is important for everyone's mental health and happiness. In the Hummingbird Project we ask pupils to carry out a "random act of kindness" and report back on how it made the other other person and themselves feel.

How does the Hummingbird Project improve young people's mental health? Here pupils tell us in their own words what they gained from the course.
