Announcements - Terry Anderson informed the Life Cycle of the presentation the area preventionists coalition had made on Jan. 13 to four NM Cabinet Secretaries in Santa Fe. The group asked to highlighted prevention instead of intervention in the state, hoping to save the state money. They asked to do a research project on families in the system and trace back their first contact with the system so they can see where the system needs to be strengthened to catch people at the first brush with the system. They will know in Feb. if they received funding for the project. </div> <bR> <div> Kendra Milligan presented the First Born 2<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >nd</FONT> Quarterly report to the Life Cycle.
