Building Bounce Resiliency Program for Schools!
We are thrilled to offer this amazing resilience program for kids in public schools! With the world changing drastically, many kids are forced to face difficulties that even adults are not equipped to handle. We believe that this program will help meet this urgent need. This year, we had the honor of sharing this program in 5 elementary schools in Kansas City, KS as well as the Hope Center in Kansas City, MO.
Kids learn skills that teach:
- Connection
- Quieting
- Emotional Regulation
- Body Regulation
- Replenishment
- Social Skills
- Grit
- Storytelling (a fun and engaging way to reach the skills that build resilience)
Hear what school social workers have to say about Building Bounce!
Alexis Strauss, LMSW from Welborn Elementary
The Building Bounce program provided a space for our students to open up and connect with others who have experienced trauma. Students were able to learn and practice lifelong coping skills, like positive self-talk and feeling identification. I am so proud of the growth I have seen within our students, and believe that the Building Bounce program helped to set them up for future social-emotional success!

"Having the Building Bridges-Building Bounce Resiliency group at my elementary school was a great experience. The group facilitators, Ms. Steph and Ms. Camille were timely, organized, and always prepared. Building Bounce was able to serve students at every grade level, K-5! The students who participated in the group would always stop me in the hallway and ask if it was Tuesday (our group day). I noticed that group participants were able to open up about their feelings, identify their strengths and areas of growth they wanted to improve, and relate to The Tale of Despereaux story read during the group. I look forward to hosting Building Bridges again for the 25/26 SY.

Thank you so much for providing the Building Bounce program at our school! The kids enjoyed the group and the group leaders! The group helped provide an additional layer of intervention for students who have experienced trauma or who struggle with emotional regulation and coping skills. Sometimes getting students into outside services or resources is difficult for various reasons so coming into the school to provide the group eliminated a barrier that some families face! We hope to have the program at our school again!
