Rebound Families

At Rebound, we work with families who are trying to recover and rebuild after experiencing the devastating effects of trauma. These families are the most susceptible to continuing cycles of abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness unless there is some type of intervention. We walk alongside kids and parents on the road to health and restoration. Connecting – Families often suffer because of a lack of connection. Social isolation and lack of support from other adults make it difficult for families to gain traction during crisis situations. At Rebound, we foster supportive relationships and access community help in times of need. Empowering – We are committed to giving families the tools they need to succeed. Rebound offers year-round programs for both parents and kids that teach health in the social, emotional, and physical areas of life. Restoring – We seek long-term health and stability for our families. As we walk with them, we seek to restore homes to a place where family members know they are loved and supported, where trust is present, and where both parents and kids can thrive as part of the greater community. 

Rebound is an organization that was founded in 1996. It began by serving kids who were most at risk for social and academic failure. Over the years, Rebound grew in size and scope until it launched as an independent 501©3 non-profit in 2006. Since then, Rebound’s programs have grown substantially, as has our capacity to support the entire family – providing hope and healing to those whose lives have been impacted by trauma including abuse, neglect, poverty, homelessness and other life challenges. Since its beginnings, Rebound has made an impact on thousands of lives in Whatcom County, and many have benefited from both participating in our programs and/or serving with us.

Rebound Families’ core programs include the Roots Family Enrichment Program, ReLief Family Advocacy Program, and Ray of Hope Summer Day Camp Program – all designed to fulfill our mission of connecting with, empowering, and restoring those in our community who are most vulnerable.
