Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Hot Lines & Crisis Intervention, Mental Health, Mental Health & Crisis Intervention, Suicide Prevention
Mission: We provide free, anonymous mental health counseling to anyone with an urgent need and few resources.
Programs: Walk-in counseling center was founded in 1969 in response to the unmet need for accessible mental health services in the twin cities. Since then walk-in volunteers (master degree and phd clinicians) have provided free counseling to tens of thousands of people - and indirectly countless family members and friends - by helping them address intense mental health and emotional issues, and interpersonal concerns. In addition to helping people, we have improved the quality of mental health services in the community through our training and clinical consultation to counselors, social workers and other helping professionals and nonprofit and educational institutions in the twin cities. In minnesota and the region, wcc provided training opportunities about professional ethics and boundaries, covering a variety of topics which include testimony in court cases. In 2017, 164 volunteers provided services to 2,600 clients in 6,800 sessions. The services were valued at $1,115,034.
