Welcome to the BOUNCE Professional Course
BOUNCE is an integrated framework that utilises evidence-based therapeutic models to improve social and emotional health for children and young people.
This 3-hour foundational course is crucial for understanding how to apply BOUNCE in a school setting. It covers essential topics such as the nervous system, attachment, sensory processing, emotional regulation, social connection, and self-awareness.
Attendees will gain a greater understanding of how to support children’s emotional and social development effectively, using the BOUNCE framework, existing music, strategies, tools, and curriculum. By mastering the basics of BOUNCE, you will be prepared for advanced training, where you can adapt the framework to individual needs and use therapeutic tools at a practitioner level.
This foundational knowledge is key to integrating BOUNCE successfully into educational settings and enhancing well-being.
