In 2024, we served 986 individuals, a 17% increase from the previous year. We provided over $510,000 in donated counseling services, ensuring that cost was never a barrier to care. And most remarkably, 99% of our clients met at least one of their treatment goals, a testament to the life-changing work happening every day within our walls.
This year also marked a major milestone: the launch of our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for teens and their caregivers. In just its first months, this program supported 41 families navigating the complex landscape of adolescent mental health. We also expanded our reach by opening a second location in Ferguson, Missouri, bringing critical services to a community in need.
While we celebrate these achievements, we also remain acutely aware of the national mental health crisis we are part of addressing:
- In the U.S., there are 340 people for every mental health provider.
- Missouri ranks 44th in the nation for mental illness prevalence and lack of access to care.
- Suicide is the second leading cause of death among children aged 10-14.
- 1 in 5 youth experienced a major depressive episode in 2024, yet only half received treatment.
These sobering statistics remind us that our work is far from over.
As we look ahead, we need your help to continue expanding access, deepening care, and reaching the most vulnerable. Will you consider making a gift today to support our mission? Your generosity fuels healing, provides hope, and changes lives—every single day.
Together, we can ensure that no one faces their mental health journey alone.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and with your help, we are looking to raise $75,000 in MAY!
