NMFAP ECHO® OVERVIEW 

NMFAP ECHO is a knowledge-sharing platform for judges, court staff, parent and children’s attorneys, social workers, child welfare agencies, community service providers, educators, and parents and families. 

The platform builds from the experience of the New Mexico Family Advocacy Program, which provides parents in child welfare cases an interdisciplinary team of lawyers, social workers, and parent mentors so that families are given the proper advocacy and support for reunification or other preferred outcomes.

The goal of NMFAP ECHO is to create a virtual community of child welfare system practitioners dedicated to improving the well-being of New Mexico’s children and families.
NMFAP ECHO sessions are typically held once per month on the second or third Tuesday from noon to 1:15 p.m.  Sessions provide didactic presentations given by subject matter experts followed by Q&A and discussion.  These are open to everyone.  Continuing Legal Education (CLE) and Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits are offered on some sessions and are indicated below in the training schedule.
