Community mental health programs are often understaffed, with long waiting lists, and many don't focus on providing evidence-based practices (EBP). Careful, affirming, competent, anti-oppressive therapy requires a commitment to ongoing and advanced training, which requires time and resources. Many EBPs have not been validated in marginalized populations, leaving it open whether best practices are best practices for all. Manualized treatment plans do not always build in explicit acknowledgment of identity, especially in relation to oppression and intersectional identities. TAC's mission is to provide world-class, evidence-based, culturally aware care for underserved and marginalized populations through establishment of clinics and ongoing supervision and training of employed clinicians. TAC's primary goal is to provide world-class, evidence-based, culturally aware care for underserved and marginalized populations. All of TAC's time and resources were allocated to this goal. TAC achieves this goal through the establishment of clinics and training/mentorship programs. Utilizing primarily CBT and third-wave interventions, practitioners offered outpatient care for conditions such as mood disorders, trauma/PTSD, OCD, SUD, sleep difficulties, and EDS. Intensively trained clinicians provided full-model, compliant DBT including skills group, individual therapy, consultation team, and phone coaching. TAC also sought to develop and promote the careers of psychologists and psychologists-in-training who hold marginalized identities through advanced training and mentorship. To that end, TAC has developed a thoughtful and robust practice of mentorship for our clinicians-in-training. TAC financially supported employees' ongoing clinical training by sponsoring enrollment in world-class continuing education programs offered by non-TAC organizations. These trainings are highly coveted in the field and often too costly for individual practitioners to pay out of pocket. In the year 2022, TAC was able to serve a total of 58 clients. TAC held approximately 50-60 DBT group therapy sessions for clients. TAC hired 8-10 clinicians to serve clients, with each clinician providing approximately 4 clinic hours of therapy per week. A majority of these clinicians are post-masters doctoral clinical psychology students in Washington receiving payment for their services and exceptional training. TAC was able to pay for 3-5 licensed clinical psychologists for supervision. TAC provided its clinicians with advanced training in DBT through behavioral tech. 0 87715 87715 Jamie Layton Treasurer 1 35960 0 0 Tilda Cvrkel President through 6/30/23 1 14580 0 0 Samantha Doerr President from 7/1/23 1 0 0 0 Miles Feller Vice President 1 0 0 0 Namrata Kakade Secretary 1 0 0 0 Desta Gebregiorgis Director 1 0 0 0 Keyne Law Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Namrata Kakade 505 Broadway E PMB 345 Seattle WA 98102 2532719019 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 24474 13910 38384 122308 92547 214855 0 0 0 0 0 0 146782 106457 253239 0 5574 5574 1480 1480 0 0 0 0 7054 7054 246185 0 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 146782 106465 253247 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Information Technology;13803|Office Expenses;1289^Total;15092^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Prior Period Adjustment: -$829 - Error in ending bank balance on 2022 990
