Programs and results
What we aim to solve
As a private practice counselor for the past 13 years, I have found that there is a great need for mental health counseling. Although the majority of the population we serve is historically underserved and is covered by Medicaid, there is still a large population that either has no insurance or they have deductibles that are so high that they cannot afford counseling. My practice has provided countless hours of pro-bono or reduced fee services, but cannot fullfill the need. By creating this non-profit, we are looking to provide mental health and behavioral health counseling to children, teens and adults, we hope to provide these much needed services.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Color Me Creative Summer Camp
These summer camps teach children how to regulate their emotions and how to express their needs and feelings in healthy ways. Children learn coping skils with the use of music, art, etc.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To provide mental and behavioral health services to children, adolescents and adults that either have no insurance coverage or have such high deductibles that they cannot afford these much needed services. We will provide camps that have already proven to reduce the need for a higher level of care including hospitalization. This will allow individuals to remain in their communities and work at getting better.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Fundraising, requesting grants, donations, etc .
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have been in the mental health business since 1999 and have learned what the needs of the community are and potential ways of solving those needs. We have created different programs and camps that have proven to help reduce the need for higher levels of care, which allow children and teens to stay in their community and in their school.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We established a non-profit this year. We have had a successful launch event, followed by two fundraisers. We have started submitting grant applications to different companies. We have one company that has added our non-profit to their list and they will match donations made by their employees.
