Section 9. Mission

CYFD believes in the strengths and resiliency of families who are our partners and for whom we advocate to enhance their safety and well-being. CYFD respectfully serves and supports children and families and supervises youth in a responsive, community-based system of care that is client-centered, family- focused and culturally competent. CYFD partners with communities to strengthen families in New Mexico to be productive and self-sufficient. Juvenile justice services’ focus is on rehabilitation and regionalization, and on Cambiar New Mexico, which emphasizes rehabilitation and regionalization.
