CCC&Y presents series of no cost webinars for professionals, parents and youth on ACES, Mindfulness, other topics

COCONINO COUNTY — The Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth has created a series of webinars for professionals, parents and youth, to provide them skills that are needed now more than ever in our current stay-safe-at home society.

In our hour-long webinar on Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences; Hope in Resiliency, participants will learn how the effects of childhood trauma play out both personally for individuals, along with having tremendous costs for society. Participants said:

“Though I am familiar with the topic of ACES, each time I participate in training, I learn something new. Your model of ACES presented a light of hope with interventions that can occur at each level.” “It was a great training and I look forward to more in the future.” “I am recommending this training to several folks…” “Thank you for providing amazing webinars…” “Very good training.” …

There is no charge for the webinars, but we do ask that you consider sharing with others and completing the survey.

All the webinars and additional information can be found at: https://coconinokids.org/prevention/

Two years after submitting its initial application, Coconino High School has been authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, allowing it to begin to offer the IB Diploma Programme, an advanced learning option for students during their last two years of high school.

The authorization was announced late last week, after a Tuesday video conference presentation to the Flagstaff Unified School District Governing Board.

“I couldn’t be more proud and honored to be recognized by the IBO [International Baccalaureate Organization] and also I am just thrilled for our students at Coconino High School who will have the opportunity to pursue an IB diploma or just register and take IB classes,” Principal Stacie Zanzucchi said during the presentation.

The International Baccalaureate Organization, an international educational foundation based in Switzerland, has four programs for students from ages three to 19: the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme.
