Overview

Mission

Wcc centers community needs in the delivery of high quality, accessible mental health programming; cultivates a strengths-based, equity-focused, community-responsive mental health workforce; and values the strengths and wisdom of individuals and communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Wcc's clinical service numbers remained stable during 2024. 351 clients were seen through our school based program for a total of 6604 billable services at 16 schools in addition to a wide array of other non-billable services such as consultations with school staff and parents that directly benefited school children. Our school-based clinicians provided services benefitting schools and the general community by offering resources and developing support teams. Clinicians also provided therapy services to 186 adult clients at our community clinic. Wcc provided professional training for 5 graduate students and 9 clinical practitioners in the field of mental health. Wcc's school based programs were supported by long term contracts from minneapolis public schools and the state of Minnesota, with support for uninsured clients coming from hennepin county. In wcc's school based programs, staff help students and their families deal with mental health issues that interfere with academic engagement and success attachment issues, anxiety and depression, adjustment to stressful situations, exposure to traumatic events, etc. In addition to providing individual and family services, staff provide groups to students and consultation to school staff. In 2024, wcc also provided skills groups and outreach to immigrant and refugee communities in partnership with clues, lead the way mn and with the refugee trauma and resilience center at boston children's/harvard.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
