OVERVIEW: DISASTER. It strikes anytime, anywhere. It

a fire or a hazardous spill, an act of nature or an act of terrorism. It
builds over days or weeks, or hits suddenly, without warning.
Every year, millions of Americans face disaster, and its terrifying
consequences.

OVERVIEW: The Mission Statement for The Ranches is,
“Rekindling Hope in Today’s Youth.” When combined with the
purpose statement, “To provide services for young people and
families in pursuit of a brighter tomorrow,” a truth emerges: the
power of hope to transform lives. Our Mission statement not only
defines what we do, but the difference we want to make. Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Everything that is done in the world
is done by hope.” As a Christian organization we know the
importance of good values, including hope. However, such values
are useless unless they also become important to the individual
young people who utilize our programs. Hope includes many
facets: seeing ourselves as valuable, having a vision for our future,
having the skills needed to provide for our own needs, finding a
profession that we enjoy, feeling safe, knowing how to develop a
healthy support system, finding love and knowing there is a loving
God who cares about us. While development of this vision for our
future often takes years, when young people believe such things
are possible, they are transformed by their hope.
SERVICE SUMMARY: Residential group home in rural
setting providing structure, training and community living
experiences for boys 10-18. Voluntary, goal-oriented program
includes behavioral modification based upon Christian values with
an emphasis upon helping teens deal with authority issues.
Individual and family therapy provided for residents and
parent/guardians. Campus school enhanced by
computer/technological training. Admissions decisions based
upon the youth's (and family, when appropriate) potential to
benefit from the Ranch program.
NMAHHC provides a variety of services to its members
including information, education, advocacy for adequate
reimbursement, appropriate regulation and a code of ethics
for home care and hospice.

www.nmsd.k12.nm.us
OVERVIEW: As a School, NMSD provides a
comprehensive, accessible and language-rich learning
environment for children and youth who are Deaf or Hard of
Hearing ages two through twenty-one.
SERVICE SUMMARY: More than 30,000 people in the
United States die by suicide every year. It is this country's 11th
leading cause of death, and is often characterized as a response to
a single event or set of circumstances. However, unlike these
popular conceptions, suicide is a much more involved
phenomenon. The factors that contribute to any particular suicide
are diverse and complex, so our efforts to understand it must
incorporate many approaches. The clinical, neurobiological, legal,
and psychosocial aspects of suicide are some of the major lines of
inquiry into suicide.
As an Outreach Agency, NMSD works collaboratively with
families, agencies and communities statewide to meet the
unique communication, language and learning needs of
children and youth who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing ages
birth through twenty-one.
