Mission & Impact Statements Mission Our mission is to provide high quality counseling services to hurting people in our communities in a Christ-like way. Offering help with a distinctly Christian perspective. Background The Family Counseling Center opened doors to the public in March, 1999 with money left from David Pate's mother's estate -- $1100. It all began with one counselor and an office with 2 rooms out of need in the area for Christ-centered counseling to people in the Coffee County area. In 11 years, the Family Counseling Center has grown to have 3 offices and 1 full-time counselor and 3 part-time counselors. The Family Counseling Center is governed by a board and does not accept any federal or insurance funding and solely depends on the money received from clients and community generosity. one is turned away. Impact ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The Family Counseling Center has opened an Autism Family Resource Center to help families with children and adults diagnosed with Autism as a free service. Two counseling offices have been opened to better serve clients living in neighboring Bedford and Franklin Counties. We have developed counseling programs in conjunction with Haven of Hope to help battered women and children. In the past year, we have served over 2,400 people who are unable to afford counseling at normal rates by offering a sliding scale based on income and family size. GOALS: The Family Counseling Center is developing group support for persons dealing with grief, anger, and parenting issues as a result of blending families and is developing a comprehensive Anger Management Program for adults and youths to be presented to the Adult and Juvenile Court system in the Southern Middle Tennessee. The Family Counseling Center will staff a 4th office in Warren County, Tennessee; and will hire another full-time counselor in the main Manchester/Coffee County office. Needs NEEDS: 1. Finances to offset expenses due to clients who are seen on sliding or pro-bono scale. 2. Counseling Office Space 3. Funding for new counselors 4. Educational materials 5. Funding for staff development through workshops and continuing education classes 5. Service Categories Primary Organization Category Mental Health & Crisis Intervention / Counseling Secondary Organization Category Human Services / Areas of Service Areas Served TN - Coffee TN - Bedford TN - Warren TN - Franklin Board Chair Statement The Board of Directors of the Family Counseling Center Of Middle Tennessee has been pleased at the level of service being provided by The Center and the addition of satellite offices in three counties of the seven counties served in Middle Tennessee making a total of four offices including the main office in Manchester, 2
Coffee County. We have been able to move from rented offices to office space furnished by churches at no charge in Franklin and Bedford counties. This has allowed The Center to focus funds in these areas on direct delivery of counseling services. The challenge which remains is not in having clients but staff to serve clients who are experiencing not only regular issues for which they would seek counseling but the added economic stress on individuals and families in the current economy. We do not wish to turn clients away due to lack of staffing. The dedication of our staff is very commendable but even dedication does not add hours to a person's day. Our very real challenge is to have the financial ability to recruit and expand qualified staff to adequately respond to the demand for service. The Board Chair and Executive Director meet two hours every week to ensure the staff and programs needs are met. I am often gratified when going about my daily routine within the communities and mention my affiliation with The Center Board of Directors to hear people continually sing the praise of The Center and how they, their families, or acquaintances have been helped. These reports, volunteered by people from all walks of life, refresh my commitment to the Family Counseling Center Of Middle Tennessee nearly daily. Board Chair: R. E. Fuller CEO Statement The Family Counseling Center is unique in that we have never turned away anyone in need. The Counseling Center also provides 24/7 coverage to clients and community at no cost. Those hurting are helped also by connecting them with other helping agencies that specialize in the specific needs of that client. 3
Programs Programs Fruits of the Spirit Description Budget Category Population Served Short Term Success Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success Proposed Program: Fruits of the Spirit would enable Family Counseling Center of Middle Tennessee to help more lower income neighbors. We would like to hire one Christian, qualified counselor annually who would specifically work with people who can not afford counseling. We find that all too often many hurting individuals and families that would greatly benefit from counseling are the people who can least afford it. That is why our goal is to hire counselors whose salaries can be paid independently of client fees. 35000 annually Mental Health, Substance Abuse Programs, General/other Adjustment Disorders Families, Adults, Poor,Economically Disadvantaged,Indigent Short term success of Fruits of the Spirit could be measured by offering counseling sessions to 10 families or individuals weekly who otherwise would not have counseling. Our ideal long-term success would be that individual/families that need counseling receive counseling and are able to, in turn, feel positive about their emotional future. One example would be marriage counseling. If FCC can assist couples that see divorce as eminent through counseling, families can be saved. Strong families based in Christian principles is what is lacking in our society, culture and country. Many couples see divorce as inevitable when actually sincere counseling and guidance can help them see how to choose the way of together and happy instead. So, success of FCC's Fruits of the Spirit program can be measured by one less divorce. Success can be measured by one less person on prescription drugs for depression, one less child suffering from low self esteem. Follow-up with clients. Relationship/Marriage counseling success rate can be seen through statistics of how many couples are still together. Families stay together and grow together emotionally in a positive way. Statistics showing how many couples remain together or reconcile if previously separated are straight forward. Keeping records over the long term would indicate more long term success. Also, statistically we can track how many couples return to counseling because they see it as helpful. CEO Comments The Family Counseling Center's #1 challenge is having enough qualified counselors to meet the enormous need in our rural communities. Small communities tend to suffer by not having enough trained professionals to treat those people in need, especially our lower income population. Family Counseling Center is committed to provide the best trained, Christian counselors to provide help in a Christ-like way. Our goal is to have at least one new counselor each year. 4

State Charitable Solicitations Permit TN Charitable Solicitations Registration Yes - Expires June 2015 Organization Comments The Family Counseling Center is facing major challenges in a declining economy to provide more services with less money. We have experiences waning revenues due to clients' inability to pay for need to pay less. Companies and churches have not been able to continue monetary support; however some churches have offered office space at no cost in lieu of money. The Family Counseling Center is addressing this challenge by developing a foundation and trust fund for long term support and expanding local and county-wide fund raisers and marketing efforts. A local resident has volunteered as funding director to help us reach out to new funding 9
