Embrace, Inc., is a newly formed non-profit organization whose vision is to live in a community that embraces the gifts of all its citizens. Our mission is to heal the Roswell community of unhealthy lifestyles and social injustice.
The goal to facilitate transformation for people entrapped in unhealthy lifestyles is facilitated through the provision of mental and behavioral health services, including individual and group counseling services, support groups, and training activities for adults and teenagers with substance abuse and related issues, such as child abuse and neglect and juvenile delinquency. The goal to liberate people from social injustice is facilitated through organizational and community planning, and training and consultation around issues affecting people who are socially excluded, especially those with disabilities.
With funding from Con Alma and other resources, Embrace will provide individual and group substance abuse counseling, parenting education and mentorship services to teen and adult parents in Roswell, New Mexico.
