Overview

Mission

The organization provides comprehensive assessment, referral and educational services for substance abuse, mental health, or other personal problems to Rhode Island schools and communities and the nationwide work force.

What it reported doing in 2024

Regional community prevention coalitions: contracts with department of behavioral healthcare, developmental disabilities and hospitals to implement evidence based interventions in communities, in partnership with local prevention coalitions, to prevent and reduce the use of substances among youth and to support positive mental health strategies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
