About Us
Vision, Mission and History
Youth Heartline's Vision is: healthy families, healthy children.
Formed 1991, Youth Heartline's original mission was to make life better and safer for vulnerable children and families in our community. In 2020, Youth Heartline updated its mission to family stability through trauma-informed services and systemic solutions.
First incorporated as Tri-County Children's Advocates, Youth Heartline is the first and only Court Appointed Special Advocates program for the Eighth Judicial District of New Mexico. Since that time, the organization rebranded to Youth Heartline, in recognition of an expanding array of services.
