In every community, there are children and adults carrying the weight of trauma, often silently. The Bounce Coalition — an initiative of Kentucky Youth Advocates — exists to change that reality by equipping organizations with the knowledge and tools to build resilience, respond with compassion, and create environments where kids and families can truly thrive.

Bounce’s training offerings are designed to support schools, nonprofits, youth-serving organizations, healthcare providers, residential facilities, workforce and community leaders.
