Y5&6 Bouncing Back Workshops14 July 2023 (by Sam James (family support worker)) |
In July 2023, two representatives from Action For Children came into school to deliver the Bouncing Back programme to our Y5 and Y6 classes.
The Bouncing Back programme was delivered over 2 x 1 hour sessions to the whole class group with the support of a member of the school staff team and was aimed at helping young people to identify triggers to negative thought processes that can impact our emotional and mental well-being. It was based around the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy theory and focused on the idea that our thoughts, feelings and actions are all connected. Throughout the sessions, we spoke about a range of self-care strategies.
Session 1 focused on resilience, triggers, dealing with negative/bad thoughts, and different activities to make us feel good.
Session 2 focused on building resilience, practical skills, knowing when we need help and where/who to go to, and planning ahead.
