Trauma in our youth is an epidemic. Causes range from living in an abusive home, poverty and teen pregnancy to bullying, unstable foster care and homelessness. These all-too-common situations create chronic trauma that interfere with a child’s ability to learn and function in school. Trauma can cause anxiety, impulsivity, aggression, sleep problems, depression and physical ailments.
Learn4Life quickly realized that in order to reach students’ heads, we needed to reach their hearts. So, we designed the Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC) Model which is based on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) science and protocols. TREC is an active approach to understanding trauma. We do more than explain the effects of trauma and encourage understanding amongst our teachers, counselors and staff. All our employees are trained and receive credentials in the foundations of trauma-informed practices. Staff continue their training by completing a series of trainings on mindfulness and meditation, compassion fatigue and self-care, social restorative justice, and diversity inclusivity and anti-racism.
Unlike other schools, TREC is infused in all departments and guides our instruction and programs. An essential component is teaching kids about emotional intelligence and regulation to assist in the development of better coping and resiliency skills that will help them handle life’s ups and downs even after they graduate. Our TREC Oversight Committee creates training programs, shares best practices, and analyzes data on resiliency programs so we can constantly improve our performance.
We know that traumatized children who thrive have someone in their life who encourages them and believes in their success. For many of our students, we are that support, and we make sure this is a constant part of their experience at Learn4Life.
