March is Self-Harm Awareness Month 🧡

Behind smiles, jokes, and “I’m fine”…
millions of people are silently fighting battles no one can see.

We’re spreading awareness.
And we’re reminding people they are not alone.

If even one person in your life is struggling, this conversation matters.

Share this post. You might help someone feel seen today.

Federal SNAP rule changes may affect some immigrants who have legal status in the U.S.

To help during this change, New Mexico created a temporary, state-funded food assistance program for families who may lose SNAP benefits.

Eligible families may receive a one-time payment to help replace lost SNAP benefits. If approved, the payment will be added to your EBT card.

⚠️ Important: Complete your SNAP renewal on time. Renewing helps us determine if you qualify for SNAP or for the one-time payment.

Please note: People who apply for SNAP on or after Jan. 1, 2026 and do not meet federal eligibility rules will not qualify for the state-funded benefit.
