Welcome to the Brighter Futures Ahead by New Mexico Child First Network

After years of stalled progress on improving support for children and youth in foster care, compounded by the harm young people experienced during the pandemic, New Mexico simply can’t wait any longer to make foster youth a priority. Solutions exist to fix our broken child welfare system, and each new episode of "Brighter Futures Ahead" will feature ideas, solutions, best practices, and evidence-based research. We will feature stories and important news updates along the way.

Join us as we come together as a community and write a new story for New Mexico's most vulnerable children and families with steadfast optimism that we can and must do better.
