100% KEY CONCEPTS GUIDE
We are pleased to share the twenty concepts that are the foundation of the 100% New Mexico initiative work in each county.
We think of it this way. Imagine your new house is being built on a foundation of twenty large wooden beams. You cannot afford to have one break. It’s the same way with the following twenty concepts, each one plays a critical role in the building of a local 100% New Mexico initiative to ensure that 100% of residents have access to the ten vital services for surviving and thriving.
Enjoy what we hope is inspiring listening — Katherine and Dom

ACEs can lead to […]
Concept #3: Social Adversity
/
With Katherine Ortega Courtney, PhD and Dominic Cappello We can see how social adversity means barriers to the ten vital services for surviving and thriving, as well as racism, classism and discrimination. Adversity may also come in the form of lack of access to the internet and living in regions where there are no jobs […]
Concept #4: Social Determinants of Health
/
The research focused on the social determinants of health tells us that our community environment shapes our lives and impacts our future.
Concept #5: Historical Trauma

Historical trauma is a form of social injustice and a burden to those who live in communities with a long history of oppression, discrimination and violence.
Concept #6: 10 Vital Services for Surviving and Thriving
/
With Katherine Ortega Courtney, PhD and Dominic Cappello We can prevent most social challenges by ensuring that 100% of residents have access to ten vital surviving and thriving services. Barriers to these services lead to our most costly public health and education challenges.
Concept #7: County Level
/
With Katherine Ortega Courtney, PhD and Dominic Cappello The 100% New Mexico initiative is implemented on the county level to create a way for local stakeholders to collaborate and solve problems within every community inside the county’s borders.
Concept #8: Continuous Quality Improvement
/
With Katherine Ortega Courtney, PhD and Dominic Cappello Our local initiative uses a four-step framework focused on access to services, called continuous quality improvement, to assess, plan, act and evaluate.
Concept #9: Collective Impact
/
Collective impact is our way of organizing our initiative’s work by having a shared vision, goals and understanding of how activities connect.
Concept #10: Adaptive Leadership
/
We are guided by adaptive leadership, a way of identifying challenges as either “technical” (with a roadmap) or “adaptive” (in uncharted waters).
Concept #11: Capacity for Readiness
/
We seek to understand our county’s capacity for readiness for change. We’re asking, “Who’s ready to solve problems?” and “Who isn’t ready and why?”
Concept #12: Working in Alignment
/
We work to ensure ten vital services by working in alignment with current efforts by local government and stakeholders to increase access to ten vital services.
Concept #13: Survey
/
We survey our parents and youth and all residents about their access to ten vital services and the barriers they might encounter. The survey report guides action teams.
Concept #14: Logic Model
/
We use a planning tool called a logic model to guide projects. It’s a one-page plan to identify goals, partners, activities and outcomes.
Concept #15: Evidence-informed Strategies
/
To end barriers to vital services, we use evidence-informed strategies, which are based on research and practical experience.
Concept #16: Technology
/
We seek to identify the technology that can strengthen service delivery to 100% of residents. We work to end the digital divide while growing public awareness of challenges and solutions.
Concept #17: Partnerships and Strong Relationships
/
Our county initiative benefits from partnerships and strong relationships with mayors, city councilors, county commissioners and state lawmakers.
Concept #18: Public and Private Partnerships
/
To innovate and improve all family services, action teams explore public and private partnerships. The initiative engages business leaders in the work.
Concept #19: Framework for Change

Our framework for change guides 100% New Mexico, a process of interlocking components and activities that produce measurable and meaningful partnership to promote measurable and meaningful change.
Concept #20: Self-care

We celebrate successes and know the value of self-care to keep ourselves healthy, safe and resilient along the journey.
