Overview

Mission

A not for profit organization that provides community education and prevention services, individual, family, and group therapy to people impacted by addiction and behavioral health disorders. We are offering a chance to change lives affected by addictions and behavioral disorders.

What it reported doing in 2024

Counseling: therapists offered 9,595 hours of individual, family, and group counseling. A total of 5,487 hours were free or low-cost services provided to individuals and families that do not have insurance coverage or have out of reach costs. Services were provided to 105 cities across Oklahoma. Clients were both children and adults ages 5-92 who suffered from behavioral health disorders, trauma, substance use disorder and related issues. Services included assessments, case management, peer support, coaching and financial counseling.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
