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.
“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.”
FLAGSTAFF — The Arizona State Board of Education will hold a retreat, open to the public, on Friday, August 9, 2019 from 2:00 – 5:00 PM and Saturday, August 10, 2019 from 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM at Northern Arizona University, S. San Francisco St., University Union Building 30 B/A, Flagstaff.
Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, Flagstaff had a variety of events celebrating the city’s part in the achievement, including hosting a LEGO Robotics competition at NAU. Killip’s team “The LEGO Side” took part in the Apollo Next Giant Leap Student (or ANGLeS) Challenge on July 19th and 20th. In this challenge, teams needed to fly and land a lunar module via drone in a particular location on a map of the moon’s surface.
