THRIVING

The groundbreaking 100% New Mexico initiative ensures that all families can access the ten vital services for surviving and thriving.

The truth is simple. Our children and students are enduring adverse childhood experiences and trauma, leading to our most costly health, safety, and education challenges. We know the solution. All that’s required is ensuring that 100% of our families have access to the ten vital services for surviving and thriving.

WATCH: FOR 100% TO THRIVE

“For 100% To Thrive” asks us to address the childhood trauma that leads to our most costly public health, education, and safety challenges. The story poses the question, “What kind of society allows an epidemic of childhood trauma to continue?”

What determines our health?

The initiative identifies the adverse social determinants of health in the form of families’ lack of access to vital services. These services, such as medical and behavioral healthcare, determine our quality of life with the capacity to prevent adverse childhood experiences, trauma, substance use disorders, and poor school achievement leading to a lack of job readiness. By guaranteeing services, we go upstream to prevent family involvement with child welfare, law enforcement, the courts, and emergency room care.

We’re ensuring ten vital services.

The 100% New Mexico initiative, a program of NMSU’s Anna, Age Eight Institute, provides each county with a collaborative process for transforming our under-resourced communities into fully-resourced environments, creating local access to services described in the book 100% Community: Ensuring ten vital services for surviving and thriving. We are making a system-wide change in each county, creating a seamless system of family services where ten service sectors are working in alignment with local networks of organizations.

100% New Mexico initiative vital services

We’re creating 100% Family Centers.

The 100% New Mexico initiative county surveys reveal many barriers family members face when seeking services. The initiative addresses all barriers to ten family services by building the 100% Family Center: One Stop Service Hubs and Community Schools as 100% Service Hubs to increase access to all ten vital services through onsite, web-based, and navigator supported linking to service providers. With one-stop-service hubs, we can confidently say, “We’re referring families to services.”

Our return on investment is 100% thriving families.

The 100% New Mexico was founded by a deep respect for New Mexico’s families and a strong desire to transform our society into one that values and loves every child. By investing in our initiative’s local strategies, we’re investing in the lives of all our children and students. The return on investment is trauma-free children, successful students, and self-sufficient families. The initiative is a groundbreaking strategy described as visionary, audacious, and too necessary to do anything less than succeed. Join us as we build a seamless support system in 33 counties where 100% of children, students, and families can thrive.

We want every county in New Mexico to feel 100% confident when they say ‘We are referring families to services.’
