2025 CCC&Y Conference at Lowell Observatory  

With a setting that gazed toward the stars, the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth successfully presented its 2025 CCC&Y Conference on Sept. 9, 2025 at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. Guest speakers included Iyo Affo, a Culturalist and Trauma Specialist who presented “Cohere. Connect. Conduct,” and Dr. Sandra Solano, who combined science with human emotions and taking care of oneself during her presentation “From Within to the World: Harnessing Heart Coherence for Healing and Systematic Empowerment.”

CCC&Y supported partners to present “Voices Unheard” 

Speakers at the “Voices Unheard: Breaking the Silence” — A community gathering for prevention, strength and healing, made it clear that domestic violence, stalking and human trafficking are all ongoing issues that must be addressed year round by community leaders, law enforcement and others.
