Albuquerque Family Advocacy Center

We envision a community where interpersonal violence is unacceptable at anytime, in any place, by anyone. We will achieve this vision by engaging all stakeholders of our community in building a system of care that supports victims of violence and sexual assault. By doing this, we will increase the quality of life for everyone who lives here.
