Guest contribution — CCC&Y member says Coalition provides variety of support, education to the community
I have had the blessed opportunity to work with at-risk youth in Flagstaff for over 20 years. I first learned of the Coalition when I attended the Child Abuse Prevention Conference over 15 years ago. Since then, the Coalition has been such a wonderful resource for me. They provide support, education, and have helped connect me to individuals and other organizations that advocate for youth.
Not only have I been able to share useful information with my family and friends, but my work circle has also benefited. The Coalition has shed light on mental health and well-being and is helping remove the stigma of mental health issues. Bringing mindfulness to the forefront is a bold step and I intend to continue the work. I have already practiced a mindfulness activity with a small group of my colleagues, and will lead a longer one at next all staff meeting.
