Overview
Mission
Helping people meet life's challenges by providing the skills, support and hope needed for effective, fulfilling lives.
What it reported doing in 2025
Employee assistance programs - within this program, the agency provides assessment, referral, and short-term counseling services for employees of contracted companies. The program also includes supervisory training and consultation about how to use the eap and other wellness programs. Respite - the program provides short-term temporary care for children in adoption or subsidized guardianship placements to provide some relief to the families. Sliding scale - the program provides affordable, high-quality mental health services to adams county, Illinois residents who are uninsured, underinsured, or have high-deductible insurance plans that make traditional therapy financially inaccessible. The program is designed specifically to meet the needs of alice households (individuals and families who are employed but earn less than the basic cost of living and therefore often fall out of eligibility for public assistance while still being unable to afford consistent mental health care).
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 the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
