Overview

Mission

To provide high quality, community-based therapeutic, supportive, and preventive healthcare services for children, adolescents and families with mental health, development disability, and residential needs

What it reported doing in 2024

Outpatient services program - child guidance resource centers' outpatient services provide children, adolescents, and families with traditional mental health services. As the least restrictive service within our continuum, it is the gateway to initial assessment for service and support when discharging from a more intensive level of care. Outpatient services offer an array of diagnostic and therapeutic services including individual, group, and family therapy, psychological evaluation for level of care, psychiatric evaluation, and prescription of medication with psychiatric consultation and monitoring. Cgrc is licensed as an outpatient psychiatric clinic by the Pennsylvania department of public welfare. It is a free-standing, private, non-profit, community-based mental health center. Outpatient care acknowledges that all individuals have resiliency and protective factors that they can be utilized to work toward and achieve treatment goals. Treatment focuses on supporting individuals with identifying their strengths and assets in addition to their problems, because available coping skills are essential elements in the treatment process. We collaborate with individuals to help them efficiently improve their functioning and ability to manage current demands. This philosophy results in the use of short-term, practical treatment methods that focus on symptom reduction and improving both psychological and social functioning. Cgrc is committed to providing high-quality mental health services without regard to age, sex, race, religion, ethnic background, handicap, or sexual orientation. Services are provided by experienced therapists who have graduate-level training and clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and families. Cgrc is committed to maintaining close relationships with all of the systems of care in our service area in order to promote optimal collaboration and service. Any individual who is identified as requiring emergency crisis service is referred to the nearest hospital for immediate evaluation and intervention.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
