WHAT WE DO

We are a behavioral health agency specializing in the treatment of families, children and their caregivers who are struggling due to issues of divorce, homelessness, child abuse/neglect, family violence or other crises. Our highly trained staff specializes in trauma-informed treatment methods that create a safe and comfortable environment in which our clients can heal. We serve children, youth and their families struggling with mental and behavioral health issues that impact their success at home, school and in their community.

The Children’s Safehouse provides age-appropriate, legally defensible forensic interviews for children 2-18 years of age and developmentally disabled adults who have been the alleged victim of sexual or physical abuse, or who have witnessed a violent crime. Our average client is a 9-year-old girl, sexually abused by someone she knows and trusts.

Family advocates work closely with the alleged victim’s guardian to ensure that they are provided resources and follow-up care, such as medical attention, and therapy. 

Family Wellness refers to a variety of services offered to children and their families to help them navigate the complex system of supports needed on the journey to healing and recovery.

Trauma affects whole family, not just the child. Children need safe, stable and nurturing relationships to heal from trauma and prevent further trauma. We support the healing process for parent and caregiver’s childhood trauma so as to empower them to protect and support the healing process of their children.

All Faiths Adoption Services works to help children find permanent, loving, and safe homes within a family. We work with birth families to provide comprehensive pregnancy options counseling and with prospective adoptive families for adoptions within New Mexico and between states.

The New Mexico FIESTA Project managed by All Faiths Children’s Advocacy Center focuses on creating a support system for adoptive families through networking events, trainings and connections to resources.

Through the Home Visiting Program, All Faiths Children’s Advocacy Center contracts with the New Mexico Children, Youth & Families Department(CYFD) to provide detailed assessments and recommendations for licensure for both prospective foster families and CYFD adoptive families throughout the state of New Mexico.

Educating law enforcement, educators, municipalities, and human services professionals about the impact of childhood trauma is key to creating a community of first responders, schools, mentors, and families that recognize the signs of trauma, as well as understand that the consequences of trauma can be prevented and healed.
