Bounce Back: Childhood Trauma Intervention
Bounce Back is a school-based group intervention for elementary students exposed to stressful and traumatic events. Development of the Bounce Back website was supported by a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration while the development of the Bounce Back Program was supported by a grant from The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
With 20-50% of American children experiencing trauma within their families, at their schools, and in their communities, it's essential to help children heal. Bounce Back teaches students ways to cope with and recover from traumatic experiences, so they can get back to doing what they want to do and need to do.
Designed to be administered by clinicians, Bounce Back is based on the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS). The Bounce Back program includes 10 group sessions, 1-3 group parent sessions, and 2-3 individual student sessions.
The Bounce Back program is appropriate for children and families of diverse ethnic and social backgrounds.
