Overview

Mission

An inclusive mental health clinic focused on adolescents. Teenagers are patricularly vunerable to mental health challenges due to the unique social, emotional, and developmental challenges they face.

What it reported doing in 2025

Providing mental health services for teens.

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 some filed totals do not add up.
