A Santa Fe high school program that’s helping teens earn their diplomas while overcoming the challenges of parenthood is making a dent in the stark statistics.
Federal authorities Wednesday heard directly from more than two dozen clients concerned about the continuing disruptions of services in New Mexico. One after another, men and women, adult patients and parents of children, recounted problems getting behavioral health services.
Three out of four of the counselors who treated patients at Valencia Counseling Services in Los Lunas are no longer working there, and that has the new management team on edge. “Anyone who says there hasn’t been disruption is naïve,” said Valle del Sol’s Chief Executive Officer Kurt Sheppard.
