Celebrating 20 years of resilience: A look back ... and hopes for the future
By Susan Damico, M.A., DCRC Director
I feel tremendous pride as I reflect on the positive impact the DECA Program has had on children (millions have been assessed), families and communities (tens of thousands of professionals have been trained) these last 20 years. I am equally proud of the role Devereux has played in elevating the nation’s focus on young children’s social and emotional health.
