Domestic Violence Services
If someone in your life is hurting you or makes you feel afraid, help is available. Throughout the state of New Mexico, programs and shelters are designed to improve well-being and reduce future violence for children and adults surviving domestic violence, family violence, and dating violence.

Help can be accessed in several ways:
