What We Do
Fathers New Mexico’s primary work is helping young men to become great fathers…
We utilize Mentoring, Parenting Education and Case Management to develop their skills and connect them to resources.
Fathers New Mexico helps empower dads to be responsible healthy fathers, partners and community members. We connect with parents and support positive outcomes for the whole family.
We provide professional training and consultation for those family-serving agencies who want to develop their abilities to connect with men and dads and/or to improve their supports for co-parenting caregivers.
Our Mission & Beliefs
Fathers New Mexico provides support, resources, and skills to promote healthy and responsible fathering in young families. Nurturing connections between fathers, their families and their communities helps promote Self, Family, and Overall Community Health.
We believe in positive masculinity and that men are at their best as nurturing members of their families and communities. We believe that community services would welcome supportive and positive men but often, and inadvertently, dissuade male participation and engagement.
Fathers New Mexico employs its significant experience focusing on men to assist agencies at becoming more welcoming of men.
“We want to thank you for your support, in the many forms that that may take, and hope it continues as we serve as many New Mexico families as possible.”
What We've Achieved
Since our founding, we have supported hundreds of fathers and families.
We have facilitated thousands of group meetings, in which dads build a sense of community and support for each other.
Our FUTURE MEN PROJECT has inspired many middle school aged boys to investigate healthy masculinity and consider their path in the future.
Trainings about working with men, boys and fathers have been provided at meetings and conferences, to national fatherhood providers and for specific agencies in New Mexico
