Bounce Back Featured as Successful Program in The Day Newspaper
An article in The Day newspaper, "Program helping youth deal with trauma sees unheard of success," shined a spotlight on how Bounce Back is being used successfully in several New London and Groton elementary schools. Exposure to trauma can have a profound impact on school functioning. Recognizing this, schools are doing more to help children recover from traumatic stress.
Bounce Back is a brief, trauma-focused group intervention for elementary school-aged children. The evidence-based model was adapted from Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS). Both models are available at no cost to schools in Connecticut through a statewide initiative funded by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.
