The ordeal this family — this community — has had to endure has been horrific and ongoing as her surviving family, community, and many of us across the country have waited, prayed, and hoped for her safe return.
Today Barron School District Administrator Diane Tremblay thanked Safe and Sound Schools for providing training and support in crisis response, trauma, and recovery. It is our honor and the mission of our dedicated network of professionals to be able to support the community, provide connections to resources, and find meaning in our own loss and tragedy by helping others. We are grateful for the existing relationships and connections that we and our team members have with local schools and law enforcement in and around this tightly-knit community.
It is important to understand that Jayme and her community’s journey does not end today. While we feel joyous at Jayme’s return, the process of healing and recovery has no prescribed timetable. Each member of the community will have their own unique way to heal, and their own journey to follow.
Safe and Sound Schools will continue to provide ongoing support, helping the community develop healthy and supportive programs, activities, and resources to help restore a sense of safety and build sustainability for the long term.
Jayme’s rescue has been truly a team effort among the public safety authorities, school leaders, and the entire community—not to mention this incredibly brave young lady herself. We commend the positive spirit and faith that kept hope alive for Barron and so many other communities facing and recovering from a crisis.
