The cycle of poverty includes
geographical isolation.

impoverished rural area with a
lack of support services
available to families. The
Canones Early Childhood Center
provides a family-centered early
educational experience for
preschool children giving them
an advantage when they enter
public school, and giving these
families hope in breaking the

The C.G. Jung Institute of Santa

was founded as a formal

individuals in them need public
opportunities for the soulful
self-exploration and mutual
connection that public-sector
organizations do not provide.
Todays’ turbulent times call out
for private sector investments
that promote in-dept exploration
of ourselves and encourage
mutual dialogue for exploration
of our local and global
communities. |

these skills and address tactile
defensiveness and helps develop

Reggio Emilia techniques,
children will develop ways of
understanding their thoughts and
ideas, as well as expressing
themselves in ways where their
brains are building core
foundational skills, and
developing a better neurological
system. |

New Mexico Appleseed’s mission
is to improve the lives of the
poor and underserved. This means
we work to make sure families

they can lift themselves out of
poverty and thrive. Until
recently there was no
intervention to address
homelessness as a root cause of
child maltreatment. We helped
create the Keeping Families
Together program, which uses
permanent supportive housing as
child welfare intervention. |
