How we help
Your public and behavioral health partner

Research & data
Data that communities can actually use
We maintain a substantial public library of reports, maps, and briefs, and offer tailored research through the New Mexico Community Data Collaborative — giving residents, nonprofits, and agencies access to de-aggregated statewide data for assessments, funding, and policy change.
Policy & advocacy
A grassroots route to the Roundhouse
Policy-making is centralized and urban-based, which leaves small and remote communities with little influence over decisions that shape their health. We help those communities find their voice and carry underrepresented issues to the decision-making table at the local, state, and national levels.
