Since 1997, Rebound has been providing children and youth and their families with the skills, strategies, and tools they need to succeed. Rebound’s program and service offering has expanded over the last several years, to provide comprehensive mental health services, family wellness and parenting support, youth justice programming, and literacy and learning help. Throughout the years, Rebound’s vision has been to help the children and youth of Northumberland County reach their fullest potential.
Rebound’s staff team of professional Social Workers, Counsellors, Psychotherapists, and Case Workers support over 1,200 clients annually with accessible and free programs and services that range from preventative programs to intensive interventions both in school and the community.
Rebound works closely with a number of community partners – including the Community Health Centres of Northumberland, to provide timely mental health services to youth and their families. An established partnership has been developed with the Northumberland Hills Hospital Community Mental Health Services, where walk-in clinics are held every Tuesday and Thursday which are accessible and without waitlists. Additionally, while acknowledging under-served rural communities of Northumberland, Rebound as a partner in the Ontario Health Team – Northumberland, has been involved in supporting the development of a Rural Outreach Clinic in Colborne, where they also provide services with other OHT-N partners. Rebound’s Youth Justice Diversion team works closely with the three local police services (Port Hope, Cobourg, and the OPP) to support local youth who come into conflict with the law with restorative justice and prevention programs shown to lower crime rates.
Rebound recently launched a Family Wellness Hub, which takes a family-based approach in promoting wellbeing through Everyday Parenting programs, Family Connections Workshops, Collaborative 14 and Under Intervention Programs (CUIP), Triple P Positive Parenting program, FASD Caregiver support groups, and Family Check-Up programs. One of Rebound’s core values – the Ripple-Effect – showcases the long-term impact timely interventions have on the long-term well-being of children, youth, and their families. As a result, Rebound’s supportive programs such as the Emotional Self-Regulation Group programs, our brief therapy and counselling programs, are continually growing to meet the needs of the community. In addition to the many workshops, March break and summer programs that Rebound hosts, they also offer year-round learning help through the READBound program which offers free tutoring and homework help sessions led by Rebound’s hardworking and dedicated volunteers. Keeping in mind that the needs of families and individuals evolve over time, Rebound is committed to the children and youth of Northumberland in responding to whatever challenges come their way.
