Connections Spotlight — CCC&Y offers families a variety of free webinars
The Coconino Coaltion for Children & Youth wants to remind everyone that we have a variety of free webinar training programs on our website to help parents and families during the upcoming back to school season.
Our growing library of on-demand webinars is designed to help the public gain the tools they need to provide trauma-informed care, tips to help strengthen family protective factors, examine the effects of historical trauma and adverse childhood experiences, address issues such as bullying and the support to adults and youth through the use of mindfulness practices.
First Things First — News and resources to better support child care workers
A recent report from the Morrison Institute for Public Policy has put the annual cost of Adverse Childhood Experiences, also known as ACEs, in Arizona at $260 million a year. ACEs are traumatic events such as abuse, neglect and other household stressors that occur during childhood. They are also sources of toxic stress and can harm children’s developing brains so acutely that the effects show up decades later.
Connections Spotlight — CCC&Y’s ‘Igniting Collective Action: Moving Beyond ACEs’ free webinar now available
Imagine a community in which the effects of childhood trauma are clearly understood, the impact of inequitable experience is acknowledged, and people are aligned toward creating equitable access to assets and protective factors that support positive life outcomes. This hour-long free training explores the roadmap to creating change at the community and system level by using the findings of both leadership research and today’s thought leaders.
