Cook Center for Human Connection
Introduction
Cook Center for Human Connection
In response to our families’ requests for resources on parenting topics, we're excited to announce a new partnership with the Cook Center for Human Connection. We understand the importance of supporting our families while being respectful of parental rights and control. That’s why the district has invested in providing live webinars and recorded sessions. You can choose what’s important to you and align the advice to your own values and parenting style.
The Cook sessions cover a variety of topics to help you navigate the journey of parenting with confidence and ease. From managing stress to enhancing communication with your children, these resources are designed to empower and support you every step of the way. It is easy to access. Simply visit the website, select Colorado and you will be able to find Durango. Here you can navigate towards the monthly calendar and view live webinars or access the full library of recorded content.
