The New Mexico Alliance for School-Based Health Care benefits students, families, schools and communities by:
Advocating in support of SBHCs in their delivery of medical and behavioral health services at school for students when they need it, thereby catching health problems, like asthma, diabetes and depression, early and preventing bigger problems later. Promoting comprehensive health services to students at school so they can avoid health-related absences and receive support to succeed in school. Partnering with schools to provide students coordinated services and support for success. Networking and collaborating with others to advocate for school-based health care at the state, national, tribal and local levels.
