Over a decade ago, we saw the birth of Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC) at Diego Valley East Charter School (DVE) in El Cajon, CA. On Wednesday, May 29, 2024 DVE staff and students celebrated their TREC Accreditation as a Trauma-Resilient Organization! The celebration was not only a recognition of the accreditation but also a reflection on the journey that DVE has undertaken to become a Trauma-Resilient Organization.
All staff at DVE are Certified individually with TREC’s Trauma-Resilient Professional (TRP).
Assistant Principal Anthony Johnson (Coach A.J.) opened up with welcoming remarks and the invitation for students to participate in the event which demonstrated a commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that everyone feels a part of the achievement. By highlighting DVE's journey and their anonymous Strengths & Needs Assessment, the presentation provided transparency and reflection on the progress made on sustainable transformation.
Principal Lisa Youngflesh was interviewed following the party and shared, “TREC has been an awesome opportunity for our staff. We have a very passionate staff who cares deeply for students and TREC has just given us more tools to be able to work with our students, to understand what our students need to feel more competent in being able to help our students with the trauma that they have dealt with in their lives. Our TREC training and our TREC discussions and the tools that we have used have just helped our staff feel more confident in working and supporting the students that we have at our school.”
