Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide community-based counseling and education in a safe and healing environment that embraces the cultural and emotional needs of every client and to help people find hope, resiliency and life-affirming change.

What it reported doing in 2024

Sitike counseling center opened its doors in 1988 born of a passionate commitment to offer hope and healing to people whose lives are affected by addiction and mental illness. Sitike provides outpatient addiction, mental health, and violence prevention programs and accepts referrals from county courts, probation, child protective services, employee assistance programs, and self-referred folks.

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.
