Our Programs Early Childhood
Parents Reaching Out receives support
from the Family Infant Toddler (FIT)
program to work with families of young
children and service providers to
provide assistance and information
about the importance of natural
environments that help children thrive.
We also have a liaison in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the
University of New Mexico Hospital. Helping families understand the
services they are receiving is important. As children grow we help
families build advocacy skills as they access different community
resources.
Health Care
Parents Reaching Out is the New Mexico
Family to Family Health Information
Center. We encourage the development
of effective partnerships between
parents and health care professionals.
We work with health care providers,
state agencies, programs for medical
trainees, and with other community
organizations to promote understanding
of the value of family/patient-centered, culturally competent care.
We also partner with families and other organizations to represent the
voice of families in New Mexico on issues related to children with
disabilities and special healthcare needs. We want to contribute to
building access to care, increasing insurance coverage, improving
service delivery, and other important healthcare policy issues.
