New Mexico Asian Family Center

New Mexico Asian Family Center Culturally-tailored, language-specific direct social services and community engagement programs

We believe that we are stronger together, and that everyone should have access to culturally tailored care. If you or anyone you know needs support, our trained staff members are multilingual in languages such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Nepali, Tagalog, Dari, and Farsi. For other languages, we bring in trained community interpreters or utilize phone interpretation so that you ca

n receive the best care in the language you are most comfortable. Services: Make an appointment today to meet with one of our case managers to get connected to resources and services. We offer individual and family counseling, legal consultation and representation, general navigation services, yoga and body work for survivors, and warm referrals to trusted agencies to qualified individuals. All of our services offered in-house are provided free of charge. Although our services are open to everyone, our offerings are tailored to those who identify as Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian (APINH). Programs: Our programs help to further our mission and are led by those most impacted by the work. We invest in leadership programs for youth, parents and child caregivers, and victims and survivors of violence; engage in year-round civic engagement work that increases representation of APINH immigrant, refugee, and American citizen voices; provide financial education workshops; and provide a monthly gathering for young women, gender non-conforming, and non-binary folks identifying as APINH through Tea Talks. History: NMAFC was founded in 2006 by a circle of Asian women who came together to address the lack of culturally and linguistically tailored services for the state's Pan-Asian community. Having started by providing counseling and case management services in a house, NMAFC has now grown to include survivor led and centered services, programs centering traditional methods of healing, youth and community leadership programs, financial education workshops, cross-racial movement building,and civic engagement work. Philosophy: We believe the solutions to our issues lie within the deep wisdom and experiences of our communities, and that our organizational leadership, as well as our programs and services, should be reflective of this. We are continually striving to frame our work within a social justice lens, and believe that all children and families deserve equitable access to resources and opportunities in order to thrive.

Summer brings more time with friends, new experiences, and social situations that are chances to look out for each other.

Whether we are at a gathering, out in our community, or heading somewhere new, safety is something we can all take part in building by checking in with our friends, staying with people we trust, and having an idea about our boundaries ahead of time.
