There has never been a more important time to support young people to build mental resilience and emotional wellbeing so they thrive in education and beyond. Make a change to reduce these statistics:
Over £300 billion is spent each year on mental health problems. (Mental Health Foundation 2024)
10% of children aged 10 to 17 have low wellbeing. (Children’s Society Household Survey 2023)
50% of adult mental ill-health start by age 14. (National Comorbidity Survey Replication)
For too long resources have focused in the wrong place when it comes to mental health. It’s time to change and focus upstream to prevent these statistics:

The skills needed to help:
Bounce Forward has spent years building its national and international reach. In 2023 we launched a partnership with the Harry Kane Foundation to extend the organisations who support us, and partners who evidence our approach.
Bounce Forward has reached over a million adults, children and young people, with many more in reach.
Bounce Forward has spearheaded cutting-edge research which has been referenced by HM Treasury, Department for Education and Public Health England.
Healthy Minds
"We know that our mind enables thoughts, memory, movement, and emotions by complex functions. Developing and maintaining healthy minds throughout our learning journey is critical in meeting the increasing challenges educators and learners face. It is vital that we understand why it is important to become more resilient as we live well together. We are very excited to have the opportunity to partner with Bounce Forward with support from the Harry Kane Foundation to realise this essential goal."
Raise Resilience
This course is useful personally. It will be useful for my children. It will help improve things at home. I would recommend it to others.
"It has been so useful, thinking about why
we all feel and react the way we do,
really informative, well delivered, easy to
understand, opened my mind and will be
very useful for family life and work."
