PHOENIX — “Prevention through Resiliency: Impacting Community” was the subject of Virginia Watahomigie’s presentation at the 25th annual Statewide Child Abuse Prevention Conference, held July 23, 24 at the Wigwam Resort, Litchfield Park.

The conference was presented by Prevent Child Abuse Arizona.

“We must start looking at prevention as a continuum that spans generations, honors historical experiences, and stops punishing trauma behaviors that we are seeing today, said Watahomigie, executive director of the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth. “The workshop focused on work being done in schools and communities to combine education of the impacts of trauma with simple behavior management, crisis de-escalation skills, and mindfulness techniques in order to promote resiliency in children. The session also explored community action, collective impact, and how to further initiatives through inspiration.”
