About us
Guidance Center of Lea County, Inc. (GCLC) was first established in 1971 as a Crisis Line in a small house in the rural community of Hobbs, New Mexico. The mission was to provide emergency crisis intervention services to the citizens of Lea County, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Over the last 47 years, GCLC has grown as a non-profit community mental health center now providing a wide array of services to clients throughout Lea County and Southeastern New Mexico. Guidance Center serves over 1,000 clients and responds to approximately 66 crisis interventions each month. As the sole provider of a comprehensive array of family-centered services, GCLC is committed to the enhancement and expansion of its continuum of care. This continuum is created by providing services supported by the State of New Mexico's Division of Mental Health, Behavioral Health Services Division of Substance Abuse, and Children, Youth and Families Department, and is augmented by services funded by local sources. Guidance Center of Lea County, Inc. is committed to the Sanctuary© Model of Trauma Informed Care for its staff and clientele. We believe that increasing awareness, emphasizing safety, and teaching skills to our employees that they can utilize to manage their feelings, are crucial steps in creating an environment conducive of processing change, feelings, past trauma, grief and loss. Sanctuary© is a full system approach that guides our agency’s staff and the clients we serve by allowing us to share the same values and language. It helps us to recognize and understand the connection of trauma and its effects on the behavior of the clients we serve. Humphrey House opened in 1986. Humphrey House provides a safe and nurturing environment that offers unconditional positive regard to clients and employees. This is a place where youth can expect predictable, consistent treatment, and encouragement toward positive self-esteem and pro-social responsibility.
