Overview

Mission

To lead the community in improving mental health through advocacy and education.

What it reported doing in 2024

We help ourselves (who) is a series of research-based curricula that are formed on sensitive, non-threatening content and methodology. Since 1981, the who program has allowed school counselors, child advocates, nurses, teachers, case workers, and volunteers to present who in classroom or group settings for ages prek-12th grades. Videos, follow-up activities, and evaluation instruments are also included in who program materials.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
