Connection Spotlight — CCC&Y one of four organizations in Arizona to be selected for the Vitalyst Health Foundation’s System Change Grant
The Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth was one of four organizations in Arizona to be selected this year for the Vitalyst Health Foundation’s System Change Grant.
We will receive $175,000 over three years to develop, in conjunction with the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County, a mental model change ensuring trauma-informed and resilience information is understood at City and County levels and enacted as policy change. The goal is to improve patient engagement, treatment adherence, health outcomes and provider and staff wellness.
First Things First — Diving deeper into developmental milestones
Developmental milestones are the things most children can do by a certain age, and developmental screenings can help parents and caregivers understand how their child is growing and get services to help them thrive. In this First Things edition, we’re sharing information and resources to help you learn more about this important topic.
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.
