10% of children aged 10 to 17 have low wellbeing. (Children’s Society Household Survey 2023)

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."
