What it reported doing in 2025
Outpatient counseling: mental health and substance abuse assessment and therapy services for youth and adults completed by professional staff of md's, aprn's, doctorial psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed marital and family therapists as well as supervised practitioners. Services are structured in a flexible way to meet individual circumstances. Clinics are located in seven counties as well as over 30 school based sites.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 91% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
