Overview

Mission

The boulder institute for psychotherapy and research builds bridges between the latest advances in the knowledge of human development and effective services that promote healthy lives and communities. We envision a future where its therapeutic model transforms communities through the early development of healthy minds and secure, resilient relationships.

What it reported doing in 2014

Front porch lectures bring cutting-edge information to local mental health providers by offering professional development credits from lectures given by national and international speakers, it serves to keep our therapists informed, so they can provide the best treatments possible. 648 individuals served. This program also provides community education lectures geared to prevent mental illness. 749 individuals were served through this program in 2014.

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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
