TREC Releases a New Parenting Course Offered at No-cost!
Parenting is tough.
As an organization committed to fostering healing-centered relationships, TREC has just released a program that nurtures a healing-centered home environment.
The Trauma-Resilient Parent Certification is designed for all parents and guardians who want to develop an understanding of the impact of trauma, build resilience, and foster trusted relationships with their children. And it's offered at no-cost to everyone.
"This certification cultivates supportive and informed parenting practices, creating a nurturing environment where your children can flourish emotionally, socially, and academically."
— Craig Beswick
Based on the science of Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACEs)
Research shows that difficult childhood experiences can often lead to challenges within families. For parents who’ve faced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), it can be harder to navigate parenting. And for children who’ve been exposed to ACEs, skilled support can make a big difference in their ability to thrive in relationships and at school. Parents and guardians play a crucial role in nurturing resilient and thriving children and young adults. This program equips you with a deeper understanding of trauma and its impacts on your children, empowering you with practical tools and strategies to foster healing, resilience, and positive growth within your family.
Join us to build stronger, more resilient families and communities!
✔️ The program is delivered online and can be completed at the individual's own pace. The duration depends on each individual's pace, but the average completion time is usually 90 minutes.
✔️ The program can provide you with the skills and knowledge to cope with and heal from traumatic events, both past and future, and develop practical strategies for supporting children and family members who have experienced trauma.
✔️ Individuals who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate of completion and become a certified Trauma-Resilient Parent (TRP).

IN THE NEWS:
Here's why students are taking a less traditional role after graduation.
A recent survey featured in the New York Post of 1,000 recent public high school graduates (ages 18 and 19) and 1,000 parents of public high school students found that just 22% felt “very prepared” for life after graduation. When asked what they wished their high school focused more on, 36% said they would have liked to learn about post-high school life — beyond going to college or university. And with so many opting for less traditional next steps, 37% vied for more exposure to job skills.
Shellie Hanes, Learn4Life superintendent of schools, many of which hold TREC organizational accreditation, says, “It’s important that schools adjust, changing their methods and their lesson plans to focus on individual students and what their post-high school plans might be.”
Giving students time to follow their passions may help with engagement overall, and may better prepare students for the various avenues they’re pursuing after graduation — which is incredibly important for their next step in life. Read full article.

Traditional school for Matthew was challenging. In middle school, students would often pick on him.
Traditional school for Matthew was challenging. In middle school, students would often pick on him. He tried hard to avoid these situations and instead focused on himself and his education, but it was always a problematic distraction. He was ready to start fresh in traditional high school but then felt held back from opportunities he wanted to explore, such as being employed and attending college simultaneously.
His two siblings had graduated from Learn4Life, so Matthew was familiar with the programs and services, such as the college dual enrollment program and a flexible schedule. He knew it would help him fulfill his goals, so he enrolled in his sophomore year.
With help from the TREC model, Matthew's school gave him the support he needed to thrive.
At Learn4Life, Matthew got a semester ahead and completed 12 college units. The ability to work on his own schedule and learn at his own pace allowed him the added freedom to pursue other interests.
He joined the Police Explorers program and worked full-time and part-time jobs at various times until graduation. The Learn4Life program suited him well since he wanted to work and earn money while in school. Matthew believed it was vital for him to pay his way and to show his parents that he had both the ability and the willingness to work.
“Many staff members pushed me to succeed, to focus on school and graduation. I'm in a good spot in my life right now.”

Now a graduate, Matthew works part-time for the city and attends his local community college. He is proud to help support his family financially and credits the staff at Learn4Life for helping him do that. He plans to pursue a career in law enforcement and eventually hopes to work for the federal government with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Understanding Equity and Inclusion
Equity means providing all students with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed, regardless of their backgrounds or identities. Inclusion means creating a classroom environment that welcomes and values all students, celebrates diversity, and promotes a sense of belonging.
