Bouncing Back, Inc., is a non-profit charity incorporated in Pennsylvania. Our mission is to foster resiliency in children of divorced or separated parents by offering them emotional and educational support. Since 2011 we have given away more than 3,000 free children’s books in pursuit of our mission.
This year we are encouraging people to light a candle, do a meditation, or say a prayer for children of divorce on Sunday, December 1. We have chosen this date because the Christmas holidays can be particularly stressful for children of divorced or separated parents. This is true whether the “children” are school age, college age, young adults, or even older. We think they could all use some extra comfort and compassion at this time of year.
We have sent emails to a number of our friends, family members, and associates encouraging them to join us by lighting a candle, doing a meditation, or saying a prayer on December 1. Those emails also encourage people to visit this website to access helpful resources. Below you will find a list of those resources.
If you choose to participate, please let us know by sending an email to bbi@hartingcom.com. That will encourage us to continue, and we will be sure to send you a reminder next November.
Thank you for all you have done, and will do, to help children of divorced parents.
