Helping Children, Adults and Families for more than 40 Years.

2012 - 2013 Annual Report

Dear Friends,

Las Cumbres continues to expand our programs to better serve the families, adults and children of Northern New Mexico. We draw on over 40 years of experience providing specialized services across the Rio Arriba, Santa Fe and Los Alamos counties to continue to grow with our communities’ changing needs and to facilitate the expansion of services in rural and frontier counties, where professionals and service delivery systems are scarce. Our consistency and longevity provide a stable foundation from which we continue to seek ways to innovate and evolve.

This year, Las Cumbres secured funding and partnerships that will allow us to enhance programs that support community integration and meaningful employment for adults with developmental disabilities, enhance our wrap-around service delivery philosophy, expand the reach of our trauma-informed services and increase early identification of at-risk families with young children. Most importantly, Las Cumbres is honored to participate in the successes, bravery, and joy of the families with whom we are so privileged to work.

In this brochure, you will find an overview of our history and information about our many programs. We are stead-fastly committed to continue providing the best services possible, which would not be possible without the dedication, hard work, and passion of our outstanding staff. We are deeply grateful to the many individuals, foundations, and businesses that in the past year have helped guarantee we continue to meet our goals. Thank you for your interest and support.

Despite the continued economic uncertainties presented in Fiscal Year 2013, the Family Infant and Toddler Program reached more children than ever before, the Conjunto Therapeutic Preschool graduated the most students in its history, the Behavioral Health Department received much needed funding to expand the breadth of trauma-informed services to families with young children, and the Adult Services Department preserved each of their vital programs and received a renewal of its Commission on Accreditation of Rehabili-tation Facilities (CARF) accreditation. Each program continued to demonstrate superior performance for their clients and communities.

In addition to the many services and programs offered by Las Cumbres, the agency remained a vital force in the community offering extensive wrap-around services and collaborating with a broad range of like-minded agencies and providers including the State’s Departments of Children Youth and Families; Department of Health; Vocational Rehabilitation; primary care providers as well as hospitals; the Eight Northern Pueblos; Violence Prevention Task Force; City and State Police; and many more.

Mission

The mission of Las Cumbres is to provide quality services, public awareness, and integrated community supports for children, adults, and families facing social, emotional, and/or developmental challenges.

History and Overview

Las Cumbres Community Services is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of people of all ages in northern New Mexico. The agency was incorporated in 1971 with a structured program of day habilitation services for adults with developmental disabilities residing in Los Alamos. Las Cumbres added a preschool program in the Española valley in 1979. Services for adults, children, and families have continued to expand since then in order to best meet the growing and changing needs of the northern New Mexico community. Today, the agency is one of the largest social service providers in northern New Mexico, with a staff of some 200 individuals. Las Cumbres offers direct services in Rio Arriba, Los Alamos, and Santa Fe Counties, and reaches more than 6,000 individuals each year. The agency has two facilities in Española, a supported living home in Los Alamos, additional children’s programs in Santa Fe, and an office in Chama.

Children and Family Services Adult and Respite ServicesThe Behavioral Health Department offers a prevention-based array of programs that promotes healthy attachment and social-emotional development in children prenatal to age six (along with their older siblings), and their families. Each family referred for services is often struggling with multiple stressors such as poverty, trauma, drug abuse, incarceration, CYFD involvement, custody concerns, parental mental health issues, and/or domestic violence that have led to problems with its child. Services are delivered both in the home and at the agency; many families choose to access multiple services at once to meet numerous needs. In fiscal year 2013, 1,983 individuals received direct, indirect, and/or outreach services.

The Conjunto Therapeutic Preschool is the only therapeutic preschool in northern New Mexico. This innova-tive preschool model equally blends students 3 and 4; one third have developmental disabilities or delays; one third have emotional special needs; and one third are considered as developing normally. The program promotes self-esteem, cooperative behaviors, and the constructive expression of feelings, as well as de-velopmental growth in language, cognition, motor, and self-help skills. In fiscal year 2013, 418 individuals received direct, indirect, and/or outreach services.

The Family, Infant, Toddler (FIT) program provides a continuum of integrated developmental and therapeutic services to families who have concerns about the development of their young children ages birth to three. FIT is part of a statewide program that provides early intervention services to infants and toddlers who have, or are at risk for, development delays. This program’s goal is to strengthen the capacity of families to meet the developmental and health-related needs of their infants or toddlers. The FIT staff works with children and their families to achieve optimal physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Families also are encouraged and mentored by staff to develop healthy, positive, and nurturing relationships with their children. In fiscal year 2013, 1,223 individuals received direct, indirect, and/or outreach services.

The Santa Fe Community Infant Program (CIP) provides comprehensive therapeutic home-based and center-based services with a focus on the social-emotional and mental health of infants pre-natal to three and their parents and caregivers in Santa Fe County. Licensed Masters-level therapists provide assessment, intervention, education, and treatment through home visits or in groups held on site. Families who are referred for services are often struggling with parental mental health issues, postpartum depression, domestic violence, abuse and neglect, involvement with CYFD, trauma, substance abuse, or some combination of these factors. All of these impact the social-emotional well-being of the children in the family. In fiscal year 2013, 744 individuals received direct, indirect, and/or outreach services.

The Supported Living Program offers round-the-clock services, making it possible for adults with development disabilities, whose needs are beyond the scope of parents or family members, to live in a home setting. Participants received individualized support based on the individuals’ different needs and preferences. In fiscal year 2013, 8 adults continued living in two adjoining homes in the Los Alamos area. An additional 15 individuals who are members of the extended family or household indirectly benefited from service. Independent Living services are designed to increase or maintain the participants’ skills and independence and to promote self-advocacy. In fiscal year 2013, 23 adults received services and 43 individuals who are members of the extended family or household received supportive services.

Day Habilitation services provide supports to assist each individual in making his or her definition of a meaningful day a reality. The services are designed to help adults increase or maintain their capacity for independent functioning and for decision-making. In fiscal year 2013, 45 adults received services and 89 individuals who are members of the extended family or household received supportive services.

Community Access promotes the development of valued social relationships and interactions. It helps build the participants’ connections with local communities. The program promotes skills and behavior that strengthen individuals’ association with members of the community who share common interests. In fiscal year 2013, 13 adults received services and 23 individuals who are members of the extended family or household received supportive services.

Supported Employment Programs extend the natural supports concept by connecting developmentally disabled people with skills training and paid employment. Meaningful employment gives individuals a measure of financial independence and fosters their self-confidence and sense of belonging in the community. Work situations also provide opportunities for social interaction, enhanced communication skills, and help in developing natural support networks. In fiscal year 2013, 36 adults received services and 39 individuals who are members of the extended family or household received supportive services.

Respite and Personal Care services offer parents, family members, and guardians temporary relief from the responsibilities of caring for a family member with disabilities. Families of any adult with a developmental disability and any child with, or at risk for, delayed development or a developmental disability are eligible to receive respite care. In fiscal year 2013, 282 individuals received direct and/or indirect services. In the fiscal year, Adult Services outreach services were provided to an additional 1,190 individuals.
