Overview

Mission

Provide support, education and advocacy for the rights of children and youth with emotional, behavioral and mental health needs and their families in central Florida.

What it reported doing in 2023

We engage families of children with emotional, behavioral and mental health challenges by providing a non-judgmental environment, actively listening and supporting these families. We accomplish this by providing: -informal monthly group gathering (includes free childcare/dinner). -collaborate with family-run and other child serving organizations to transform mental health care in central Florida. -provide resources and help families obtain the needed support to help them lead healthy lives and maximize their potential. -distribute a quarterly newsletter to families and community partners. -participate in resource fairs, provide workshops/trainings for families. -iep assistance and advocacy and warm-line support. -peer-to-peer support. These are family members with a "lived experience" who have personally faced the challenges of coping with serious mental health conditions as a caregiver.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
