2023 Health and Welfare Resource Virtual Networking meetings in Coconino County
A variety of health and welfare resource networking meetings are held each month in Coconino County. The meetings are presented in local restaurants, libraries, health care agencies and other locations where health professionals and representatives from a variety of governmental and non-profit organizations share information on upcoming programs and events that benefit the health and welfare of children, youth, parents and seniors throughout the region.
The following is a listing of some of those meetings. Please send any updates to frank@coconinokids.org

April 5-9 — Exchange Club of Flagstaff to present annual Field of Hope at Coconino County Courthouse Lawn
Each year we hold the Field of Hope Dedication on the County Courthouse lawn the first Friday of April, Child Abuse Prevention Month. During the ceremony, the audience is invited to help install Child Abuse Prevention flags, one for each child that died as a result of abuse or neglect in Arizona the previous year. We are dedicated to working together for the day we no longer have to raise any flags in their memory.
Connections Spotlight — CCC&Y 2023 Legislative Position
In lieu of taking individual positions on bills this year: CCC&Y has had a voice at the table for many advocacy positions that support our partners and others to advocate for the well-being of children and families in our State. We also continue sharing action alerts and updates from our trusted partners so that you can stay informed and utilize the Request to Speak system to show your support or opposition.
Many of the bills are evolving so quickly that an organization with our limited resources would risk doing you an injustice by taking a formal position that may need to change multiple times in this current climate. However, please know we are at the table and will continue to voice concerns and support during this session.
Children’s Action Alliance — The Bills That Got Away
Every year, Arizona Legislators introduce hundreds of bills. Very few of those bills work their way through the entire process and end up on the Governor’s Desk for signature. Many never make it out of committee let alone to be voted on by the full legislature. And each year, a lot of bills never get a hearing at all. Many of those that never get heard contain great ideas with the potential to help children and families in Arizona thrive. The following list is a sampling of those that we thought DESERVED to be considered.
