Youth Empowerment Services is a program that offers home visiting for families in Colfax and Union Counties in New Mexico.
Home visiting is a free service offered to pregnant women and families with children from 0-5. The home visitors offer non-judgmental support for your family and help prepare parents to cope with the everyday stressors associated with the transition to parenting, which are inevitable when a new baby enters your family. We work with other community organizations to help parents navigate the systems that are available to reduce those stressors. This leaves more time and energy for the joys of parenting as the family builds a relationship with their child.
M-F 8 AM - 5 PM
