NEW MEXICO ASIAN FAMILY CENTER

NEW MEXICO ASIAN FAMILY CENTER is a non-profit organization located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The organization employs 16 people and generates revenue of over $10,000 annually. Founded in 2006, NMAFC was established by a group of Asian women who recognized the need for culturally and linguistically appropriate services for the state's Pan-Asian community. NMAFC offers a comprehensive range of services designed to empower and support the Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian (APINH) community. These services encompass individual and family counseling, legal consultation and representation, case management, and general navigation assistance. The organization also provides specialized programs such as yoga and body work for survivors, leadership development opportunities for youth, parents, and caregivers, and financial education workshops. A distinguishing feature of NMAFC is its commitment to providing culturally tailored care. The organization's multilingual staff speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Nepali, Filipino, Dari, and Farsi. For other languages, trained community interpreters or phone interpretation services are utilized to ensure that clients receive support in their preferred language. NMAFC further distinguishes itself through its survivor-led and centered services, programs incorporating traditional healing methods, and cross-racial movement building initiatives.
