Enlace Comunitario

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. EC accomplishes this through: comprehensive domestic violence intervention services in Spanish, preventative community education, policy advocacy and leadership development. EC offers confidential support services for domestic violence victims and their children. Services include individual, family, and group therapy for victims and their children; parenting classes to repair the damage caused by domestic violence; and advocacy and supportive services for victims, including information and referrals for a variety of community resources including housing, public benefits, food stamps, and more. EC also provides civil legal representation for divorce, custody and orders of protection as well as prevention classes for the community.

Enlace envisions that Latino immigrants in New Mexico become a collective force that creates a community free of gender inequity, violence and injustice.
