What it says it does

We are National Health Service site that counsels children, youth, families, and young adults. We use play and art therapy combined with CBT, EMDR, and other trauma-focused modalities, etc. to assist our clients through difficult circumstances. We also have a civic component to our organization that provides outreach services to the Department of Human Services of Allegany County's Family Preservation Program. It supplies children 0-18 years old with a backpack/bag with essential items of a quilt/throw, pjs, undergarments, full-size hygiene items, stationary items, toys, stress star, night light/flashlight, snack, water, etc. This program provides local youth with experiential learning opportunities for leadership skills as items are prepared for distribution to other youth. Our junior helpers also learn empathy through compassionate outreach to those in need. The HOPE program is primarily covered by in-kind donations at this point because MVP's sustainability is top priority.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. MVP has provided counseling services to the underserved of Allegany County since 2015. For the first few years, it was primarily pro bono services and in late 2018 it took on an alliance with Menchevez Pediatrics LLC that allowed for the opportunity to bill the services to the client's insurance company. We have served hundreds of individuals primarily children and youth. We also have a HOPE Program that assists Allegany County's Department of Human Services' Family Preservation Program and have supplied their program with essential care bags that we supply through in-kind donations primarily. This civic component allow kids to help kids and has been a component of our work that is highly sought after for those wanting volunteer hours and DHS. The grant is to expand the services such as art therapy and supervised visitation. By combining Suite A and Suite B, the services can grow. Currently, the grant is specifically to add walls and flooring. Additional funds are needed to complete the project. We continue to renovate Suite B as we are able to save funds.
