According to the New Mexico department of health, the state has one of the highest suicidal rates in the nation, placing it fourth, with 72,000 adults in New Mexico without mental health care, and 36.5% not receiving care due to cost.
We aren't here to focus on problem-solving the issues with New Mexico's mental health ranking, but rather to uplift our community with the assets we already have. We want the sport of volleyball to unite New Mexicans to support the overall growth of community health. We are a part of a community and it's our responsibilty to maintain and improve what we have.
The reason behind our support toward Centro Savila focuses is because they focus on equity; they provide opportunities to receive free mental and behavioral healthcare, as well as other basic needs to New Mexicans that normally wouldn't have access to these services.
