Raising Resilience

Our flagship BOUNCE Programme is a whole-school approach that equips children with resilience skills, supports staff wellbeing, and gives teachers and parents shared tools to grow emotional wellbeing and resilience together—ready to implement with minimal prep. Our approach is practical, evidence-based, and designed to make a real difference in the classroom.

Schools today face increasing pressures: behaviour challenges, rising anxiety, and staff workload. BOUNCE helps your school:

• Create calm, connected classrooms
• Equip staff with practical strategies to support pupils’ emotions
• Build improved self-regulation and resilience for your pupils.
• Reduce behavioural incidents and improve learning engagement
• Enhances consistency between home and school
• Meet your wellbeing and curriculum goals

Engaging. Practical. Affordable. Impactful.

As a not-for profit partnership we aim to make our interventions impactful, affordable and good value so that together we can make a long term meaningful difference to children's lives.

"We are passionate about early intervention, emotional resilience, and making a meaningful impact by bringing all of our mental health  expert knowledge and skills from the clinic to the community” ~ Dr Kate Robinson & Dr Sarah Wilson

The BOUNCE Programme helps children learn how to understand their feelings, manage tricky moments, and grow through life’s everyday ups and downs.

It gives teachers the tools and shared language to build emotional skills across the school day — with colourful resources, ready-to-go lessons, and a consistent, age-appropriate approach that grows with your pupils.

BOUNCE also includes easy-to-share parent resources, helping schools and families work together to support children’s emotional wellbeing and resilience.

Children progress through clearly defined emotional skill levels — from Spotter to Trailblazer — earning BOUNCE badges along the way that recognise their growth and build motivation, ownership, and pride.
