New Mexico Cyfd Prevention Plan
The New Mexico Family First Prevention Services Act Title IV-E Prevention Plan outlines the state's approach to providing trauma-informed interventions for children and families, aiming to prevent the unnecessary separation of children from their families and reduce the need for foster care placement. It focuses on offering evidence-based prevention programs, including mental health and substance use interventions, as well as in-home parent skill-building programs, to families with children at risk of foster care entry. The plan emphasizes collaboration among state officials, stakeholders, and community providers to create a continuum of prevention services, improve parenting skills, increase access to mental health and substance abuse services, and enhance access to early childhood education and care services. The primary goals include preventing entry into foster care, reducing future child maltreatment, assessing and engaging families in crisis, supporting kinship care, and ensuring better outcomes for pregnant and parenting youth.
