Welcome to Raising Resilience
We’re a not-for-profit partnership supporting primary and prep schools with practical, science-based, accessible resources to strengthen emotional wellbeing, build resilience, and help every child thrive.
Our flagship BOUNCE Programme offers a clear, whole-school framework for developing these skills from Reception to Year 6.
"We are passionate about early intervention, emotional resilience, and making a meaningful impact by bringing all of our mental health expert knowledge and skills from the clinic to the community” ~ Dr Kate & Dr Sarah
The BOUNCE Programme
The BOUNCE Programme helps children learn how to understand their feelings, manage tricky moments, and grow through life’s everyday ups and downs.
It gives teachers the tools and shared language to build emotional skills across the school day — with colourful resources, ready-to-go lessons, and a consistent, age-appropriate approach that grows with your pupils.
BOUNCE also includes easy-to-share parent resources, helping schools and families work together to support children’s emotional wellbeing and resilience.
Children progress through clearly defined emotional skill levels — from Spotter to Trailblazer — earning BOUNCE badges along the way that recognise their growth and build motivation, ownership, and pride.
What’s included?
- Parents, teachers and children all have shared understanding, language and tools for promoting emotional wellbeing and resilience.
- Engaging lessons, animations and practical resources for parents, teachers, and children.
- Personally made by us to start building resilience straight away.

Exceptional Guidance and Impactful Solutions!
Our experience with Raising Resilience has been nothing short of exceptional.
Kate and Sarah's guidance and expertise in mental health have provided our school with impactful solutions to address our pupils' emotional and behavioural needs.
The depth of knowledge reflected in their resources and the engaging nature of their workshops have been instrumental in cultivating resilience.
Comprehensive, Adaptable & Invaluable
At LEH Junior School, we are pleased to have developed a close working relationship with the Raising Resilience Team. Their BOUNCE programme is comprehensive and adaptable as a programme for raising resilience in our pupils and has provided an excellent basis for discussion in our school community about how to do this.
Their workshops are tailor made for our pupils at each stage of their time at school and we have received much positive feedback from pupils and parents about these and the strategies they give the pupils to deal with the ups and downs of daily life.
Their Tutor Time Resources, specially adapted for each school, are invaluable in supporting staff in this area.
Excellent & Highly Recommend
"Just a quick message to say a huge thank you for inviting our Y4 class to join the live CMHW session this afternoon. I have had really positive feedback from both the children and the Y4 teacher who said she felt the session was "excellent" and "one of the best she's been part of."
The session was beneficial for both the children and staff and they have all spoken really enthusiastically about their learning. As PSHE lead, I feel this workshop has enhanced our existing mental health provision and I would highly recommend this session to other schools."
