CCC&Y hosted this 1.5 hour webinar to ensure we look through a strength-based framework that is evidence-based, supports families and is prevention focused. This is for the community, as well as, professionals. Trainer: Claire Louge, Prevention Child Abuse Arizona

According to one participant: “I was so surprised that I could use the information in a lot of work that I do and not just with youth and families. It is truly amazing how it related to just every day life. It was great!!” “The reminders to look for strengths in everyone, even yourself.”

Mindfulness Spotlight

Mindfulness is being aware of our feelings!

Coconino Coalition for Children and Youth promotes mindfulness as a resiliency tool. Personally, facilitating a mindfulness webinar and weekly Family Connection meetings brings me joy! I enjoy the opportunity to connect with the wider community in a personal way. It feels good to build collective resiliency and inner power.

Similar to most social gatherings, during Family Connections, we share challenges and opportunities. We listen, encourage, and share resources. We have a small, yet growing circle that appreciates connecting with and receiving support from each other. Here’s what people have shared about the opportunity:
