Overview
Mission
Provide a unique advocacy, counseling and educational service to our community. Offer the highest quality of advocacy, clinical and pastoral care at an affordable price.
What it reported doing in 2024
Mighty Oak Community Counseling Services has expanded our psychotherapeutic services and is offering Equine and Animal Assist Therapy to coincide with the traditional therapeutic setting.Equine and Animal Assist Therapy takes place at the Rolling Creek Ranch, where clients have access to multiple types of animals which include, but is not limited to: horses, dogs, a guinea pig, and rabbits. Clients also have a chance to engage with and/or ride horses, depending on the type of therapy deemed appropriate by the clinician. Equine and Animal Assist Therapy is effective because it embraces the science that humans learn best by doing. This model prescribes a hands-on approach where clients are given the space to project and analyze their situations, make connections, and find their own solutions. Since the solutions are personally experienced in conjunction with intellectual understanding, they tend to be deeper, more profound, and longer lasting.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
