Description: Bounce 102 is an interactive follow-up session that takes participants deeper into practical strategies for building resilience in themselves and others. The learning outcomes include:
Identify resilience as an effective prescription for stress and trauma.
Learn specific strategies for building resilience in yourself and others.
Identify ways to strengthen the resilience of people who have experienced ACEs.
Leave with a commitment to strengthen your own resilience.
Participants will work together on scenarios and build a resilience plan for a young person challenged by multiple ACEs. In addition, participants will be challenged to commit to strategies for building their own resilience.

Handle With Care (HWC) is the notification system described in the School Safety & Resiliency Act where schools and districts are required to collaborate with law enforcement to create procedures for notification of a student who has been trauma-exposed as part of the plan for implementing a trauma-informed approach in schools. The Kentucky State Police (KSP) have implemented a notification system that is now active statewide. The information below has been provided to us by KSP regarding implementation of the HWC program.
Handle with Care (HWC) is very simple. Any law enforcement agency that has access to the KYOPs system can initiate a HWC notification. At the scene of a crime, accident, or any law enforcement assisted traumatic event; the officer will identify any child(ren) present. The officer will then use HWC to notify the school(s) that the child(ren) attend. The notice will be sent to a confidential email and/or as a text message with only the child’s name, age, school, and these three words “Handle with Care”.
The premise of Handle with Care is to mitigate the negative effects of trauma on children when used in in conjunction with trauma-informed care. In the event the child exhibits problematic behavior (emotional/behavioral/academic, etc.), the school has an early notification of possible exposure to trauma and can provide care and understanding, and link the child with trauma-informed resources such as school counselors or therapists.
Enrolling in Handle with Care:
Contact the Kentucky State Police Post that serves your county;
Ask to speak the Victim Advocate located at the Post;
The Victim Advocate will then assist you in providing contact information for those staff members that will receive the Handle with Care notification.
Please contact your Victim's Advocate local KSP post if you have any questions. Danielle Perkins in the KSP Strategic Planning Branch at (502) 782-1848 or your district's assigned School Marshal Compliance Officer will also be able to assist if you have any questions.

This presentation shares SESC's 2020 SEL Needs Assessment Results and training a coaching priorities for the 2020-21 school year.
In response to KRS 158.4416 KDE developed a toolkit that includes guidance, strategies, behavioral interventions, practices, and techniques to assist school districts and in developing a trauma-informed approach in schools. The following tools are designed to assist in this process:
The SHAPE System includes the Trauma Responsive Schools Implementation Assessment (TRS-IA) which offers district and school teams an evidence-informed tool to assess trauma responsiveness in eight domains. Learn more about this tool here.
The School Health Assessment and Performance Evaluation (SHAPE) System is a public-access, web-based platform that offers schools, districts, and states/territories a workspace and targeted resources to support school mental health quality improvement. SHAPE was developed by the National Center for School Mental Health (NCSMH), in partnership with the field, to increase the quality and sustainability of comprehensive school mental health systems. SHAPE houses the National School Mental Health Census and the School Mental Health Quality Assessment (SMH-QA). These measures are designed for team completion at the school or district level to document the school mental health system components, assess the comprehensiveness of a SMH system, prioritize quality improvement efforts and track improvement over time.

The SESC Educational Cooperative continues its partnership with KDE and UK's Center on Trauma and Children to bring TICE Learning Collaboratives to our region for the 2020-21 school year. TICE stands for Trauma Informed Care for Educators (and School Personnel). This year it is called TIPE (Trauma Informed Practices for Educators) and will be offered virtually. See below for details:
The University of Kentucky Center on Trauma and Children is pleased to announce the launch of the 2020-2021 Project AWARE 2 ‘Trauma Informed Practices for Educators and School Personnel Learning Collaborative September 22 and 23rd, 2020 (Online Sessions). This learning collaborative is an opportunity for school personnel to learn about and implement trauma informed practices in their schools and districts. Trauma-informed Care can help students who have been exposed to trauma learn and function more effectively at school. This learning collaborative helps schools meet the requirements of the School Safety and Resiliency Act (KRS 158/SB1) that requires the development of a trauma informed team in each district and a plan for implementing trauma informed approaches in schools.
Participating teams from schools or districts will attend three Learning Sessions (initially virtually or in-person later depending on COVID restrictions). Each team will develop a plan for implementing a trauma informed practice in their school and have an opportunity to participate in ongoing sharing and support through online learning calls and an online communication platform. There is no charge for participation or the training material but space is limited.
This Learning Collaborative will help participants:
· Understand the types of trauma exposure school age youth experience
· Recognize the signs and symptoms of traumatic stress
· Learn the effects of trauma on the developing brain
· Appreciate the impact of trauma on students’ cognitive, social, emotional and behavioral functioning
· Learn and practice strategies to use in educational settings to build resilience and support self-regulation in students to enhance academic, social and behavioral functioning
· Respond to the impact of secondary trauma exposure on staff
· Identify school needs and trauma informed practices to implement in your school/ district
· Tips for integration with School-wide Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, including Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and other existing initiatives
· Create a trauma informed team as required by the School Safety and Resiliency Act
· Develop a plan to implement trauma informed approaches by July 1, 2021, as required by the School Safety and Resiliency Act
Considerations for participation:
Strong teams are interdisciplinary and ideally include teachers, school counselors, school psychologists, school social workers, administrative leaders and school safety or resource officers
Teams should be able to meet regularly throughout the year
Schools should grant release time to all team members to participate in learning sessions
Team work should be supported by the senior leadership of the school or district

The SESC Educational Cooperative is partnering with KDE and UK's Center on Trauma and Children to bring TICE Learning Collaboratives to our region for the 2019-20 school year. TICE stands for Trauma Informed Care for Educators (and School Personnel). The TICE Learning Collaborative is an opportunity to learn and implement trauma informed practices in education and is designed to help schools fulfill the requirements of the School Safety and Resiliency Act (2019 Senate Bill 1/ KRS 158). This Act requires that districts establish a trauma informed team and develop a plan for implementing a trauma-informed approach. Participating teams from schools or districts will attend two (2) face-to-face Learning Sessions, develop a plan for implementing a trauma informed practice in their school, and have an opportunity to participate in ongoing sharing and support through online Learning Webinars and an online communication platform.
SESC is assisting with coordinating schools and districts from our region who which to participate. There is no registration or materials cost to participate! Participation does require the school and/or district to send a team of individuals to the sessions. Sessions will be held within our region (locations are still to be determined). Additional information is outlined in this document. If interested, in the TICE Learning Collaborative beginning in August/September of 2019 please have your team members register at this link: https://forms.gle/AmfJHksEgE28hJt5A. For additional information contact, Dusty Phelps at dusty.phelps@sescccoop.org.
