OurSOLES (Our Students of Leadership ~ Empowerment ~ Service) high school students residing in eastern San Diego county, CA, led an interactive, hour-long trauma-informed presentation for Diego Valley and Diego Springs Public Charter School educators, tutors, school administration and staff last August 14, 2015.
Attached is their Trauma, Community Violence and Community Healing in a Socio-Ecological Model PowerPoint for the Learn4Life Public Charter Schools.
Youth leaders Alexis, Aziza, Bahum, Cameron, Lamont and Natalie prepared their presentation over the last few OurSOLES sessions. It was based upon their understanding of how toxic stress and trauma impacts their well-being and capacity to learn, as well as expanding on their opportunities to heal and the power of positive relationships in their lives.
OurSOLES is a trauma-informed curriculum for youth leaders that focuses on social-emotional learning, multiple intelligence, coping skills, anger management, resilience building, civic engagement and public speaking through projects-based service learning. It was co-founded by Estela DeLosRios and Dana Brown in September 2013.
