Crisis Center of Northern New Mexico

Here is Carol, Executive Director at Crisis Center of Nothern New Mexico advocating at Senator’s Udall’s office in Washington D.C.  The last week of January was cold in D.C. but Carol proved that she could handle anything to get the message to our senator that it is important to support families to help them make choices that build and sustain healthy familes.

We hope that everyone enjoys the new year and that it is filled with positive opportunities to build strong familes and violence-free environments for all of us.

The holidays are here.  The Crisis Center of Northern New Mexico wants to wish everyone a happy season, and thank you for all your kind donations for our shelter this season.  They are making a difference in the lives of many people.

The Crisis Center is committed to providing education on choices for families in our community.  Raising children and providing a non violent environment  in which they can grow in safety and security is the goal of every parent in our community.  The Espanola Public Schools and Hispanic Communication Network are important partners in this effort of bring families the tools they need to support their efforts.

This week we all came together to work toward the goal.  With expert media materials provided by HCN we were pleased to distribute the material with the help of the Espanola School District.

We are delighted to have had the opportunity to meet so many dedicated school professionals that share our vision for our community.  We are also delighted to have been able to provide information that parents need to support their strong families and seek resources that may help them as they raise the next generation.

We look forward to our continuing partnership with the School District and the Community as we move forward in our efforts to education parents and partners in ways to provide healthy families and strong violence free communities.

The Crisis Center went out to the Española School District on Monday, November 15.  With the help of our partners, school district and the Hispanic Communications Network, we delivered over 3,000 packets of information regarding the effects of Domestic Violence on Children.

The packet containing informational brochures and a video that was produced locally that describes the effects of violence on children and the potential harm it can do to them in the long term.

Special thanks to all Crisis Center staff that went out to each school on the district and handed out one of these informational packets to each kid in each of the district’s schools.

Domestic Violence has devastating effects on your children… it changes them for life.
