bounce forward
Bounce Forward is a charity dedicated to the mental resilience of teenagers.
Adolescence, a crucial developmental turning point, is the best time to learn
psychological fitness.
We train teachers to teach our Healthy Minds curriculum, one lesson a week for
five years for 11 – 16 year olds.
Some examples of the seventy, one-hour lessons that build psychological fitness
are:
* How their brains work.
* How to spot and deal with unhelpful, damaging, negative thoughts
* How to set rules in relationships
* How to speak up, and take responsibility for feelings and actions
* How to stop catastrophising and calm down
“Bounce Forward’s Healthy Minds Programme is the best life skills programme in
the world.
Every school should teach it.” Lord Richard Layard, Emeritus Professor of
Economics, London School of Economics, Co-editor of the World Happiness Report
and Global Policy Report.
