Mental illnesses are brain disorders that are biologically based medical problems. Untreated, they can cause severe disturbances in thinking, feeling and relating. This results in substantially diminished capacity for dealing with the ordinary demands of life. Mental illness can affect persons of any age and occur in any family. They are not caused by bad parenting and not evidence of weakness of character.

CAYA is a free 7-month Christ-centered residential treatment program located in Farmington, New Mexico, for women overcoming addictions.

Our residential treatment program provides 24-hour long-term care for 7 months with a 5-month transition to women who are 18 years of age or older, have come to a place of true brokenness, and are ready to surrender their lives to become new in Jesus Christ.

The focus is on helping the women spiritually learn or re-establish healthy functioning skills and values.

Our program also encourages the involvement of family in the journey. Since addiction and associated recovery are very much interconnected with family, we encourage them to visit during specified days and times while their loved one is in treatment.

A doula is a person, often formally trained or certified, who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals and families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Doulas can specialize further—some of the specialization areas are listed below. A person doing this type of work may also choose to use a different title other than doula, such as “birth companion” or “promotora.”

Community-Based Doula: Community-based doulas are birth workers serving families within varying communities that center African descended people, Indigenous families, and people of color. Community-Based Doulas understand the importance of seeing a birthing individual, baby, and partner as a connected unit. This support is responsive to the whole birth experience and considers how physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual experiences impact pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum period. Community-Based Doulas serve in a human rights framework to ensure that all people and families have access to safe, dignified, and culturally relevant care geared toward elevating the platforms of health equity, reproductive justice, and all stages of maternal health.
