What it reported doing in 2024

Family connections is a 12-week class for parents, families, friends, spouses, and children of someone with borderline personality disorder (bpd). This course works to help participants in obtaining the latest knowledge and research information, as well as coping skills for their own well-being. It does not teach individuals how to help their loved ones as this can only be achieved through individual therapy and dbt skills. First class was held at nami Ohio.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
