Overview

Mission

To provide professional information, education, training, and advocacy to mental health counselors in Massachusetts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Promote mental health counseling, provide training programs to mental health counselors, and promote legislation which advances and recognizes the profession of mental health counseling.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
