ABOUT US
Arizona's Children Coalition was founded by friends who recognized the role that Martial Arts played in their lives. Through their research they found that sports inherently provide many tools to heal the scars that childhood trauma can leave behind. Seeing a need in the community to connect sports with distressed and at risk youth; Arizona's Children Coalition was established.

WHY SPORTS FOR TRAUMA BASED HEALING?
WELL-BEING
Mental & Physical exercise have been shown to be one of the best forms of treatment for depression, anxiety and overall wellness.
CONFIDENCE
Confidence is empowering! The process of self discovery in learning a skill paves the way for confidence when an individual is out side of their comfort zone.
REDUCE ANXIETY
Traumatized youth can have an overactive amygdala or be stuck in fight or flight mode. Reducing anxiety is step 1 in over coming trauma.
MENTORSHIP
Sports provide not only coaches as role models but peers as well. These role models can provide a positive example to model after.
