Since 1972, PB&J Family Services has been helping at-risk children grow and develop to their full potential within nurturing families and a supportive community. Founded in Albuquerque’s South Valley as a school for children whose mothers were being treated for mental illness, PB&J quickly became an interactive parenting program to prevent and treat child abuse. Today, the organization has expanded to serve over 1,000 families every year. PB&J'S MISSION To help at risk children to grow and develop to their full potential in nurturing families within a supportive community. THE VALUE OF PB&J PROGRAMS Annually, it costs New Mexicans more than $39,000 to house each prisoner, $178,073 to house a juvenile in a detention center and $35,000 for every child in foster care. By comparison, it costs PB&J approximately $6,000 to provide services for an entire family for one year, thus demonstrating that an investment in prevention can significantly save on what is currently spent on prisons, substance abuse, mental illness and other programs that occur when child abuse, neglect and family disintegration continue. PB&J has served thousands of children and families since 1972. Nearly all of the families that successfully complete our program attain statistically significant outcomes such as improvement in relationships, environment, self-sufficiency, social/community life, and overall child well-being.
