When it comes to mental health prevention is better than cure. Why do we wait until we notice a problem before thinking about our psychological fitness?
These are critical factors to our work at Bounce Forward and we believe that we must nurture, build and teach children that psychological fitness is as important as physical fitness.
We have been privileged to support military families with funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Trust Fund.
There are many benefits of military life; seeing more of the world, meeting new people, being part of something that makes a real difference in the world. Along with the benefits, as in all aspects of life, there are downsides, feeling isolated from your extended family and friends, regular moves, lack of independence. Having the time and space to remember who you are within the world, and have that sense of self is key.
Our specifically designed programmes, delivered by our dedicated armed forces associates have reached 1000’s of parents and their children over the last five years.
We could not have done it without the support of the organisations and partners from across the military community.
We are truly thankful, and proud to support the Military Coworking Network who work to support the wellbeing of it’s members – the spouses and partners of serving and former serving personnel of the British Armed Forces.
Their mission is to empower them to thrive across all aspects of their life.
“By working with organisations like Bounce Forward that offer tailored wellbeing support, advice, and guidance to the Armed Forces community and putting the spotlight on the great work they do, we enable our members to make informed choices. By connecting them with life-changing opportunities, such as the brilliant anxiety and resilience training Bounce Forward provides to military families, we also ensure they never miss out. “Military life presents unique challenges and complexities. We help them navigate their way with ease, enabling them to create a brighter future for themselves and their loved ones. “Together with Bounce Forward, we're making a tangible difference to the Armed Forces community.”
