Overview
Mission
Chaddock is a leader in supporting children and their families struggling with issues related to attachment and developmental trauma.
What it reported doing in 2024
Chaddock's Developmental Trauma and Attachment Program (DTAP(R)) continued to deliver life-changing, trauma-informed residential treatment for children and adolescents who have experienced severe abuse, neglect, and complex trauma. Grounded in attachment science and neuroscience, DTAP focuses on building healthy relationships, emotional regulation, and long-term family stability. During the year, the program served 209 children and family members from 15 states, demonstrating Chaddock's national reach and the growing demand for specialized trauma treatment. Through highly individualized therapeutic care, education, and family engagement, youth showed measurable growth in emotional, behavioral, and relational functioning, with many progressing toward permanency and successful reintegration into family or community settings. The program also continued to receive national recognition as an evidence-based, relationship-focused model that strengthens children, families, and the systems that serve them.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
