Thank you for meeting with us this week in Washington, DC @RepGabeVasquez! Our 11 Children’s Advocacy Centers in New Mexico are dedicated to providing healing, hope, and justice to kids and families impacted by child abuse. 💙 #nmcacs
It’s unacceptable that NM’s child abuse rate is among the worst in the country. Today, I met with several New Mexican children’s advocacy groups to discuss ways to support child abuse victims and families to create safer environments in NM homes.
