As a program of Medical Home Plus, Bounce . . . Raising Resilient Children focuses on programs that will guide adults by modeling opportunities to build resiliency skills in children. When adults implement these practices, the children they care for develop the ability to “BOUNCE” back from the many challenges they face in their lives. Bounce also provides violence, alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention programs such as “Al’s Pals” in child care centers and elementary schools throughout the greater Richmond and Petersburg area. Recently, Bounce has expanded its programs to include working with families of children with ADHD.
