Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide mental health and wellness support to responders, their families, and their employing agencies through informational, educational, social, and clinical channels.

What it reported doing in 2024

A care initiative to provide programming and referral services for responders and family members. Programs and service providers are curated to provide trauma-informed counseling, psychological, spirirtual, and non-traditional therapies. Dr. Ontiveros is working directly with several agencies needing to update or improve their peer team functions. Dr. Ontiveros has more than quadrupled the number of providers under her direct supervision in the last two years. The heterogenous group includes mental health clinicians, yoga providers, licensed massage therapists, and a reiki master. Dr. Ontiveros is also directly supervising utep undergraduate, internship students, mental health interns including master's candidates, lpc associates, and a phd candidate for licensed psychologist. Wtra started a spiritual support network of volunteers modeled after the shield a badge program. Wtra launched "i love a responder" book clubs for intimate partners. Wtra is hosting 15 yoga classes per week.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
