Our Journey…

Assurance Home is a well-known safe haven that has served thousands of at-risk youth in New Mexico since 1979.

In the beginning, the primary purpose of Assurance Home was to provide a loving and stable home environment for adolescent boys and girls who exhibited difficulties living in family situations, due to abuse, neglect and other traumatic events that damaged their abilities to trust and develop attachments.

Today, we continue to serve youth and young adults who have experienced childhood trauma and/or difficult living situations. We know that these young people can overcome their difficulties, learn how to create meaningful relationships with others and, with support, develop their skills and abilities to improve their life outcomes and successfully grow into thriving adults.

We believe that our greatest accomplishments are reflected in the lives of our children who have blessed our Home with their energy, their spirit and their unique gifts. They share an important part of their lives with us.

The special combination of guidance, love and therapy offered to the young people of Assurance Home has helped to create a well-respected and successful program.

We are a private, non-profit, 501 ( c ) 3 corporation governed by a local board of directors.

Without Assurance Home, many children would be lost forever…and we live in a time of too many lost children.
