Connections Spotlight — Is Your Team Speaking the Same Language?
By the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth
Coconino Coalition for Children and Youth recently talked to a CEO of a youth-serving organization who is onboarding several new employees. He was pleased to know that CCC&Y had resources to ensure all staff could be trained in trauma-informed practices. We shared our list of on-demand webinars, and our CEO partner is now ensuring they are incorporated into the onboarding protocol.
With Child Abuse Prevention Month approaching in April, CCC&Y would love to support you to ensure all staff have the tools they need to become trauma-informed. CCC&Y has on-demand webinars on our website www.coconinokids.org. In addition, training topics can be provided to your organization on a day and time that work for the staff. Training is conducted either virtually or in person and is tailored to meet the needs of specific groups within Coconino County.
All training is being sponsored by the Coalition with no extra cost to partnering organizations. So, please share these opportunities with your team, organization, HR staff, and personal community networks:

The effects of childhood trauma play out personally for individuals and have tremendous costs for society. There is much that society needs to acknowledge about the inequitable experiences of our community members. Still, also, there is much that all of us can do to mitigate these outcomes.

We hope you all can promote these trainings throughout your community. Ultimately, it takes a village to ensure we all speak the same language regarding child abuse prevention and family strengthening!
