Bounce Back 4 Kids (BB4K)

Bounce Back 4 Kids

Bounce Back 4 Kids (BB4K) supports families affected by domestic abuse, once the perpetrator of the abuse has left the family home.  It is a therapeutic support service to assist families in healing from trauma.  To be able to receive a therapeutic intervention families must be safe physically and emotionally ready to access support.

 

The key aims of the service are:

  • To understand the cycle of domestic abuse
  • To understand and heal from trauma
  • Provide families with the tools to enable them to keep safe
  • To validate and empower children and their parent / main carer
  • To give parents the opportunity to see domestic abuse through the eyes of their child
  • To strengthen positive and healthy attachments between children and their parent / main carer
  • To raise children’s self-esteem whilst giving them an opportunity to explore and express their feelings through fun, child-focussed activities in a safe therapeutic way
  • To improve children’s school attendance, learning and development

 

 

BB4K Services – menu of support

It is our intention to develop a service that is responsive to the needs of the families.  This will result in all families receiving the most appropriate support available in a timely manner.  This will mean there is no ‘typical’ service a family will receive but could include:  individual support for parent and / or child to address immediate issues and concerns (intensive support); followed by group intervention(s) (medium level support) and completed with access to webinars / online resources / newsletter / support provided through private Facebook group (low level support).

Dependant on need and provision families may be offered:

  • 3-5’s Bounce Back 4 Kids group – support for children aged 3-5 years and their non-abusing parent / carer
  • Bounce Back 4 Kids groupwork – support for primary school aged children and their non-abusing parent / carer
  • Individual support – for parent and / or child.  This may be offered pre attendance at group if assessed as a need. Our cohort focus will remain as primary school aged children but individual support may be offered to older siblings (if assessed as a need) or younger (through play therapy or 3-5’s group provision)
  • Play therapist from qualified volunteers or a MA Play Therapy student
  • Other groupwork according to need e.g. BOOST Up, parenting support, Healing Trauma
  • Other interventions for young people provided through student placements e.g. art and drama therapy
  • Zoom workshops alongside 1-2-1 support and group support and for those on waiting list / post group attendance
  • Access to quarterly wellbeing newsletters
  • Access to the BB4K online resource (BOUNCE)
  • Invite to join private Facebook group
  • Domestic abuse training for practitioners if identified as a need
