Life throws a lot at young people, and sometimes they may struggle to overcome problems and challenges. HeadStart and BounceBack offer young people in Newham the opportunity to develop new skills, so they can overcome challenges and ‘bounce back’ from tough situations.

Headstart Champions

HeadStart Champions can help support the development and delivery of a school’s resilience and well-being strategies. Being a HeadStart Champion helps you to develop problem-solving and communication skills, creates stronger peer relationships and is an achievement young children can ultimately reflect on and be proud of.

BounceBack

Bouceback is a fun way for primary aged children to learn different tools and tricks to help them look after themselves. BounceBack makes building resilience an exciting experience; helping pupils with problem-solving, setting goals, improving peer relationships and self-awareness. By doing so, young people can feel proud as they set new goals and achieve them and make new friends!

“I have improved my moods and I don’t hit out (as much) any more. I know I need to listen to calming music sometimes.”
