A NESTON primary school has launched a new mental health programme for its students.
Neston Primary School announced it would be bringing the Hummingbird Project, a unique and empowering mental health course, to its Key Stage 2 students.
The six-week program aims to help children build emotional resilience, boost confidence, and develop a positive mindset.
Headteacher, Annabel Elliott, said: “We’re thrilled to bring the Hummingbird Project to our school community.
“Supporting our children’s mental health is a priority, and this program provides them with the tools to thrive with positivity and confidence.”
Delivered by the dedicated team at MedEquip4Kids, the Hummingbird Project uses evidence-based techniques from positive psychology to guide students through engaging workshops that foster emotional strength and happiness.
At the end of the course, Neston Primary will receive a mental health resource package, ensuring ongoing support for students’ mental well-being.
Developed in collaboration with psychologists from the University of Bolton, University of Chester, and the Open University, the Hummingbird Project has helped more than 6,600 pupils in 56 schools, with improvements in children’s well-being and reductions in anxiety.
