Overview

Mission

Provide counseling and therapy

What it reported doing in 2010

Provide counseling and therapy services to and for children and adults and their families, regardless of their ability to pay - our clients are people experiencing the emotional, psychological, neurological or behavioral effects of significant trauma, abuse and/or neglect.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% 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.
