Improving Child Well-Being

Season 4 Episode 1 | 57m 54sVideo has Closed Captions

A thoughtful conversation about how to improve the well-being of New Mexico's Children

How do we improve New Mexico’s child well-being? With a long history of low rankings, this year New Mexico was ranked 49th in the country on child well-being by the Kids Count Survey. That translates into major costs as they grow up, including more teen pregnancies, dropouts, poverty and crime. What would it take to improve those numbers and ensure our children have a better future?
