Bouncing Back and Coping with Change

This unit teaches children a series of practical evidence-based strategies to use to bounce back and keep going in the face of adversity. We choose to teach this unit to our Y6 children on a needs-led basis.

Pressures from school, social media, and relationships can seem overwhelming, especially for vulnerable young people. These strategies, drawn from evidence-based approaches such as mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, will help them to build the ability to bounce back when things go wrong.
