ADW was founded in 1995 with the
core value of respect for the
unique abilities of human beings
and animals. The union is the
two species, working together to
learn, to build resources, to
find solutions and improve the
equality of lives. It has been a
great success. From its
beginning, ADW chose to use
student dog trainers to help
with the process, and ultimately
has developed the most extensive
assistance dog student training
program in the country. |

The soul/psyche continues to be
an almost forgotten aspect of
popular individual and community
psychology. The C.G. Jung
Institute of Santa Fe presents
Community Programs because it
believes that communities in
Northern New Mexico become
healthier when citizens
experience a connection with
their inner depths. The year’s
theme is “Reflection and Action:
Wrestling with the Opposing
Forces of Our Times.” The rich
and varied 2013/2014 program
year includes four “Psyche and
Politics” events. These events
are dedicated to an analytic
examination of our current

The Family YMCA |

Los Alamos, New

The Family YMCA is 58 years
young. Rio Arriba County has the
highest assault and burglary
rates in the state, and triples
the amount of total crimes in
comparison with similar sized
counties due to illegal drug use
and drug trafficking. Education,
educationally support, and
partnering are the best means to
turn the tide for these kids, as
it being proven in national
models. Since 2007, the Y has
kept at-risk teens in school,
improved their grades though
tutoring, taught them how to
grow their own food and cook it,
fed them, and connected them to
their community through
service-learning projects. |

Haven House, Inc. |
|
Rio Rancho,
New Mexico/$10,000 |
|

Haven House began in 1994 as
Project Sandoval County to
provide legal advocacy plus
occasional, short-term emergency
shelter in motels. Requesting
services (emergency shelter,
community support group,
counseling, legal advocacy) from
a domestic violence agency is
just the first step of an often
lengthy process for a DV
victim/survivor. In order to
assist the adult victim/survivor
and her children, Haven House
provides individual assistance
(case management) to help them
recover from the trauma of their
experience, to set and reach
their individual goals in order
to move onto safe, healthy
lives. |
