Building Bounce With Kids
This new release is a resource to equip parents, foster parents, grandparents and those who work with kids how to teach the skills that build emotional capacity. Life can be hard. Our kids will experience adversity, but they do not have to do it alone. Their adults can help. We can step into the hard places, connect with them in meaningful ways and walk with them through the challenges. We can build bigger emotional muscles by building a library of internal and external resources to better navigate the ups and downs. When life happens, we can learn to not only bounce back but bounce forward and grow!

What are the Programs
Healing Expressions LLC offers three trauma-informed Children’s Program Manuals designed to equip facilitators to run bounce building small groups for kids. Manuals are sold with training packages. Stefanie Hinman, ATR-BC, BCCC, will work with you to determine which manual and training package is right for your organization then train your organization on the material.
These Children’s Program Manuals teach resiliency skills in fun and creative ways, engaging both the head and the heart through the hands.
Skills are presented through metaphors and story then processed through art and creative expression. Storytelling engages both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Putting words together with feelings, experiences, and expressions build connections in the brain that help children process their own personal story and learn new skills.
