In early June, Las Cruces staffer Melissa Patiño organized a day centered around family. Residents were encouraged to invite family and friends to participate in a special lunch prepared by staff. The more than 90 attendees were served grilled steaks. “Residents families play a huge role in their success once they release from our program and seeing them smile and hearing them laugh validates our ultimate goal of healing the human spirit,” Patiño said.
