Our Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC) Model's website launched on 1.25.24 with our Award Ceremony!

 

The culmination of thousands of hours from our Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC) team in developing our TREC Model, we launched TRECeducation.com website on Thursday, January 25, 2024. Craig Beswick, Vice-President, School Development Division, Lifelong Learning Administration Corporation (LLAC) opened up our exciting launch, which was hosted by the beautiful UCSD Park & Market in downtown San Diego. Craig warmly welcomed over 200 attendees to our Awards Ceremony and TREC Inauguration.

Our profound appreciation to Chantille De Los Reyes, TREC Project Manager, for her masterful coordination, planning, and keen attention to detail with our 1.25.24 launch.

TREC Awards

Craig introduced and presented our TREC Champion Award to Principal Amanda Clark, San Diego Workforce Innovation High School’s Chula Vista, Linda Vista, and National City Learn4Life schools.

Principal Clark’s three schools were the very first TREC Trauma-Resilient Organization Accredited schools. Amanda, her staff, and the TREC Self-Study Group worked diligently in writing their TREC Sustainability Action Plan, and completed their Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic , Timely (SMART) Goals, and were deeply vested with integrating TREC within policies, practices, and procedures. Congratulations, Principal Amanda Clark, to you and your teams!

Dana Brown, PACEs Statewide Facilitator, Learn4Life and Organizational Liaison, PACEs Connection, introduced and honored Dr. Vincent J. Felitti, Co-Principal Investigator, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study released in May 1998. Dr. Felitti received our very first TREC Trailblazer Award. Our TREC team is profoundly grateful for Dr. Felitti’s collaboration over the years. We had the opportunity to interview Dr. Felitti for several hours and have a 30-minute Dr. Felitti Legacy Video on our TRECeducation.com website.                 

Dr. Felitti is truly our Global Hero. The ACE Study is the largest public health study in our nation that millions of people have not heard of. We continue to be uplifted and inspired with the expansive reach of Dr. Felitti’s groundbreaking research as it expands cross-sector in socio-ecological models throughout our nation and world.

La Lucha: Getting Schooled in America followed five Learn4Life students from Pacoima, CA, for two years. We were grateful the Documentarian and Filmmaker, Rand Courtney, Creative Deviants Production, was at our launch. Following the documentary, Rand, Craig Beswick, and one of the youth mentors in the documentary, Rudy Rivera, had a panel with Q & A from the audience.

TREC National Advisory Board member, Carey Sipp, inquired with Rand how we can be further supportive of his cutting-edge work. Rand shared that supporting partners like Community Wraparound, who are doing the real work, boots on the ground, with lived experiences and deep passion for supporting at promise work would be the best supportive steps.
