LEADING THE NATION IN INNOVATION
The 100% New Mexico initiative is a first in the nation, a statewide strategy to identify barriers to ten vital family services and create access for all residents. The initiative is driven by county stakeholders, designed to achieve the goals of preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), family trauma and social adversity. By ensuring ten vital services for surviving and thriving, each county can also increase student achievement and provide families with the services to endure public health crises and economic disruptions.
The 100% New Mexico website provides you with an overview of how the initiative supports counties across New Mexico. Our goal is to create within each county a public and private sector partnership including city and county government, the schools, higher education and health councils, to ensure the vital services for surviving and thriving for 100% of residents.
TO A FUTURE WHERE 100% THRIVE
100% New Mexico’s mission is to ensure that 100% of county residents in all 33 counties have access to the ten vital services for surviving and thriving. We are promoting a culture of caring to heal and help our neighbors. We are working to strengthen systems of care to prevent adverse childhood experiences, social adversity and vulnerability to public health crises and economic disruptions.
Imagine every child grows up with joy, health, safety and stability within a caring family. Imagine a time when every student is empowered to succeed in school. Imagine a tomorrow when every family lives in a community with the resources to care for one another.
Imagine 100% of our children thrive.
Our children are totally dependent on their parents, some thrive while others endure adversity, abuse and trauma. Our students are enrolled in schools preparing for the future, or at risk for falling behind. Our communities may be well-resourced and empowering, while others lack the services to survive and thrive. Across all New Mexico, we live in different communities, each with their own histories, challenges and opportunities.
We can solve the challenges our children and families face.
100% New Mexico initiative is a bold countywide strategy designed to ensure 100% of our residents are protected. Our goal is to create trauma-free childhoods that lead to school achievement, community engagement, job readiness and a self-sufficient and healthy life in New Mexico.
We’re committed to ensuring that the 10 services shown to empower children, students and families are accessible to all.
5 Services for Surviving:
Medical and dental care
Behavioral health care
Housing security programs
Food security programs

5 Services for Thriving:

With ten vital services in place and accessible, the local capacity to prevent all costly public health challenges, including substance use disorders, hunger, homelessness, suicidal ideation, domestic violence and child maltreatment, are greatly increased.
Through the power of words, collaboration and commitment–we create communities where every child is a priority. Join us as we turn ideas and research into real-world solutions that empower every family, school and community.
