“One of the things that creates the most burden for me as a psychologist is realizing I can do a really good job one hour a week, but I’m sending my patients back into an environment with different values. The Adverse Childhood Experiences ECHO creates this community network of professions that interact with kids at multiple levels so you can have a wider net of options for resources and realistic recommendations. We all feel like we are fighting an uphill battle, but now we have a chance.”   ”

ECHO’s focus on equity, accessibility, and community support makes it a vital resource for probation and parole adults in New Mexico, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes and community reintegration. By addressing underlying health issues and providing necessary support, ECHO can play a role in reducing recidivism rates. Healthier individuals are more likely to successfully navigate their probation or parole requirements and reintegrate into society. ”
