Introduction

This year marks the 26th Annual New Mexico Children’s Law Institute (CLI). For twenty-six years, the Children’s Law Institute has focused on new and emerging trends and best practices in ever changing child welfare and juvenile justice environments. Through the CLI, the child welfare and juvenile justice communities have successfully advocated for blending systems and preserving connections. We have learned the importance of a trauma-informed approach, acquired skills for enhancing practice, and deepened our service to children and youth by focusing on empathy and compassion.

This year’s conference included 35 unique workshops that provided attendees an opportunity to deepen their impact through the development of leadership, advocacy, and community engagement skills, while broadening their understanding of others’ lived experiences related to addiction, abuse, and overcoming adversity. The conference planning group continued to include six featured speaker presentations offered in two different time slots. The presentations covered topics to help improve how systems address substance use, domestic violence, diversity, inclusion, and maintaining connections through creativity and technology. Workshop topics included a continuation of conversations started in the featured speaker presentations, provided information on the legal processes of child welfare and changes in the legislature, and highlighted successful programs such as Peer2Peer and the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative. Other workshops promoted diversity and inclusion through topics related to children with disabilities, cultural humility, community engagement, and immigration. Our skill building workshops included topics related to wellness and resiliency, cultivating leadership, trauma informed practices, and building awareness around sexual abuse and human trafficking. Three workshops, led by youth, spoke to advancements and recommendations regarding youth services. Opening keynote speaker, Natalie S. Burke, reminded us, we are the system we are trying to change, and the words, actions, expectations, and perceptions we choose every day, make the difference between our intent verses our impact. Dr. Victor Rios, the closing keynote speaker shared his own moving personal journey and challenged us to project our vision of a brighter tomorrow as a beacon for others. Conference attendees had the opportunity for rest and reflection in the provided Quiet Room and were also given the option of attending professionally led yoga at the start and finish of each day of workshops. For a full list of session topics, descriptions and speakers see the conference program attached to this report.

The Children’s Law Institute is a multi-agency and organization collaboration, led by the Court Improvement Project of the NM Supreme Court. The annual conference was planned and coordinated by the New Mexico Administrative Office of the Courts, the Southwest Regional Training Center at New Mexico State University and the UNM Institute of Public Law, Corinne Wolfe Center for Child and Family Justice. Major contributors to the planning process include the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department’s Divisions of Juvenile Justice, Protective Service, and Behavioral Health; NMCAN; Pegasus Legal Services for Children; and a contract attorney, a Court Appointed Special Advocate(CASA), and State and Tribal Judges. Major financial sponsorship of the 2018 CLI was from the NM Supreme Court, The Children’s Justice Act Advisory Group, Casey Family Programs, and the New Mexico State Bar. For a complete list of sponsors for this year’s conference, please visit the website www.childrenslawinstitute.org.

Heart Gallery Project The Heart Gallery Project began in New Mexico in 2001 and has since spread to 42 states.

The portraits are created and donated by some of the region’s most talented photographers. They are displayed in government buildings, hospitals, airports, galleries and other venues across the state. The Heart Gallery has resulted in numerous adoptions of the children and youth who appear in amazing portraits in this program. For more information, visit heartgallerynm.org
