Our services are provided in Spanish and free of charge. Please note: We ONLY serve Spanish speaking Immigrant victims of domestic violence and their children.
Enlace Comunitario also has a leadership development program that trains former clients (adults and youth) to become engaged in our violence prevention efforts. After an intensive training our leaders work as community educators and assist in developing materials and messages that are aimed at changing the social norms that allow violence to occur. In addition, Enlace Comunitario works with other agencies and individuals in efforts to change public policy that affect immigrant victims.
Enlace Comunitario (EC)'s mission is to transform lives of individuals and their families experiencing domestic violence by working to decrease gender inequity and intimate partner violence in the Latino immigrant community in Central New Mexico.
