Overview

Mission

To treat children and adolescents struggling with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges and supporting their families in meeting these challenges. To assist youth ages 5 to 21 in developing the skills and behaviors that support a happy and productive life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Private insurance revenue represents patient service revenue earned from providing outpatient mental health and behavioral health services to clients covered by private insurance payors. Revenue is recognized as services are rendered and is reported net of contractual adjustments, discounts, and implicit price concessions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
