Overview

Mission

An organization committed to providing culturally relevant mental health, family support, information and referral, and education services which strengthen and empower individuals, families and community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Capital employees assistance program has approximately 100 contracts with local employers. We offer 3 to 5 individual counseling sessions to all employees as well as training workshops for the employer. Examples of in house training workshops could be: sexual harrasment, work place violence, dealing with difficult employees, stress management, time management, valuing diversity and wellness classes, to name a few.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 84% 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

SUPPORTED - 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.
