The family counseling center of st. Paul's (fccsp), doing business as amanecer counseling & resource center (acrc), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing bilingual, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and evidence- based behavioral health services, including resource navigation/case management, and clinical workforce development to Delaware's most vulnerable populations. With over a decade of experience, acrc has built trust within latino and immigrant communities, offering trauma-informed counseling, advocacy, and case management that empower individuals and families toward stability and resilience. Acrc's licensed bilingual clinicians and case managers address mental health concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and family conflict while integrating support for basic needs including housing, food, healthcare, and employment. The agency also provides specialized therapy for victims of crime and legal advocacy to help clients understand their rights, access resources, and navigate court or immigration processes with interpretation, translation, and emotional support. In 2024, acrc expanded services and strengthened partnerships. Highlights include launching its first spanish-language mental health workshop, delivering therapy & case management services to children, adolescents, and their families at st. Anthony of padua school, and joining the 'healthy village' initiative at saint francis hospital.
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 97% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
