“It Takes a Village”: We Have One Helping Raise our Youth!

January 23, 2020

Mary Gray McPhailBy Mary McPhail Gray
Board Chair

“I am having a bad Christmas because I am not with my family!” said a TBH youth client  in foster care.  “But this is the best break I have ever had because when I come to camp, they help me to not feel alone.”

This past holiday season TBH organized four therapeutic groups serving more than 60 students from elementary school through high school.  And the staff—with the freedom of programing through entire days and with special support from a large number of Taos, Santa Fe and Albuquerque businesses– planned unique enrichment activities.  Heard in the groups:

“It’s really cool that TBH could take us to all these fun trips.  I feel really lucky.”

“My dream has been to see a ballet and I feel so happy that I got to see the Nutcracker.”

“We are lucky to be part of this group because it helps us to feel better and  be better students.” [Read more…] about “It Takes a Village”: We Have One Helping Raise our Youth!

A Year of Success!

January 18, 2018

Mary Gray McPhailBy Mary McPhail Gray

Nonviolence Works faced challenges, opportunities and success in 2017.  We want to reach out to Taosenos and celebrate our success!  This year our CEO Simon Torrez and our Lead Clinician Sadie Quintanilla have led the staff through successful changes with enhanced clinical expertise, larger staff, stronger programs, and exciting new plans for additional services.

We welcomed three new clinicians, and all our clinicians enhanced and focused their therapeutic skills. You may not know that we have an expert in infant mental health, several clinicians who respond with skill in crisis situations, a clinician who is skilled in vocational rehabilitation, and several who regularly intervene to prevent suicides.  Our clinicians all have master’s degrees and are able to deal with grief and loss, trauma, anger management, and custody and foster child issues.

Hope

January 4, 2018

Mary Gray McPhailBy Mary McPhail Gray

So we have turned into 2018—and the gatherings of family and friends were marked by reflections on the year 2017 and hopes for the New Year.

Some of us made resolutions, others made promises to each other to stay more in touch or start some new journeys—take some new risks.  Alfred Tennyson wrote, “Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come whispering ‘it will be happier.’”

And don’t we all wish it so?  Whether reflecting on relationships or finances or losses or fears and challenges, we want to feel some sense of hope that the differences will be positive.  And we often ask each other to name their hopes for the New Year—as if they then might become real.
