Families First
Description
Services are provided tele-health so are available to all mothers of young children. The New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD), administers Families FIRST, a program designed to empower and support families through every step of their journey. Families FIRST offers a go-to support system during pregnancy, infancy, and throughout the first three years of a child’s life for Medicaid-eligible families in New Mexico.
Families FIRST believes a healthy start early in life provides a foundation for a lifetime of positive growth, learning, and relationships. Our dedicated team is here to provide care and guidance, tailored to your family’s specific needs. Your Care Coordinator will be your own personal registered nurse who will connect you with programs, services, and learning opportunities right in your community. Registered nurses across the state are just a phone call away for you and your family.
