Overview

Mission

To strengthen our community by providing care, nurture and treatment for hurting children and families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Umch family services focuses on strengthening the children, adolescents and their families through counseling and supportive services. Our multidisciplinary treatment team is comprised of masters-level clinicians, licensed community psychiatric support providers, registered nurses, and medication prescribers, including clinical nurse practitioners and psychiatrists. Our outpatient behavioral health team uses the newest evidence-based and evidence-informed practices. We work hand in hand with parents and guardians, as well as partner with schools and pediatricians to bring a dynamic, comprehensive approach to our process. Treatment is individualized and unique for every child. Outpatient services provided for 603 clients in 2024. Psychiatry is a critical service in our outpatient program, especially if medication can help address a child's problems. Psychiatric providers are the medical staff on the child's team. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can evaluate a child for the need for further testing, help parents and children understand the illness and prescribe medication. Often medication in concert with psychotherapy or "talk therapy" is the most effective way to help children and their families improve their situations. Helping families understand the biological reasons for a child's illness is very helpful in managing the symptoms they deal with every day. 442 clients served in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% 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 most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
