We have a broad scope of skill-sets, diversity, and talent on the Board of Directors and staff. Additionally, we have an advisory board made-up of previous board members who make themselves available to help guide the work of Daemion Counseling Center.

We offer the services of Licensed Professional Counselors with specific areas of expertise.

Our Strategic Plan has identified the scope of work with action steps that we have committed to undertake. We intend to increase our client base by 20% by marketing to our target population via several marketing methods. We will use e-newsletters and social media to deliver positive mental health messages. We also intend to evaluate the major annual fundraiser for Safety, Financial, Sweat Equity, and Branding. Additionally, we are working with Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza on giving back Thursdays, when Anthony's will give back 20% of any meal when identified as supporting Daemion.

We have recently updated Daemion's By-laws to reflect the job descriptions and accountability of members of the Board, and the manner in which we will transact business.

A newly formed Governance Committee will ensure the community that we have reviewed and implemented policies and procedures necessary to operate a 501 (c) 3 efficiently.

In 2016, volunteers donated substantial hours of time to support various program activities for Daemion Counseling Center. Management estimates the value of these donated services at $44,705.

On of our most significant accomplishments has been to become a provider of Magellan Behavioral Health. Historically, Daemion has provided services to those who are uninsured or under insured. With the Affordable Care Act, everyone should have insurance. However, that is not true. Many people still do not have insurance, or if they have it, their deductible is so high, they cannot use their insurance unless it there is a major catastrophe. Daemion offers a sliding fee scale to help those who do not have insurance.
We were accepted as one of ten organizations in the Great Delaware Valley to participate in Villanova University's MBA Capstone project.
We held a successful Taste of Berwyn annual fundraiser exceeding our financial goal.
Received a first-time grant from PNC Healthcare Foundation for $10,000.
Received a $10,000 per month in-kind Google AdWords grant.
Initiated our first successful "Giving Tuesday" campaign.
Received a Rotary Gundaker Foundation award of $1,000 to upgrade software.
Increased our social media presence.

We want to focus on client acquisition in 2017, by increasing our visibility in the community. We have created a new Strategic Plan to allow for sustainability and provide direction. Finally, we hope to achieve PANO's "Standards for Success" accreditation, demonstrating that Daemion is up to date on important policies and procedures. This is a three year process, which requires due diligence and over-sight.
