Neuronimo Well Being Programme for pupils in Years 1-7

Our School will be taking part in a programme called Neuronimo (for 6 weeks before Christmas and 6 weeks afterwards).

Neuronimo is a children and young person’s mental and physical health programme. It is being delivered by a children’s charity called Reverse The Trend Foundation in partnership with the Education Authority in Northern Ireland.

The aim of the initiative is to promote mental wellness in our children

Reverse The Trend Foundation uses evidence-based neuroscience to tackle these issues. It does not rely on short-term fixes such as limiting screen time. Instead, the Neuronimo programme uses evidence supported by University partners to change behaviour and create healthy habits around mental and physical health.

Our children will complete short, fun, goal-orientated tasks over a period of 12 weeks with their teacher in school. During the programme they are supported online by Neuronimo Ambassadors who help create healthy habits. The tasks can be as short as 3-4 minutes for mental health tasks or 15 minutes for physical activity tasks. We are looking forward to participating in the programme!
