Programs described in its return (3)
- $646,489 spent. In fiscal year 2025, we provided 4,908 service visits to 610 people in the WNC region. These services were provided in the form of individual counseling sessions, couples counseling sessions, group counseling sessions, and mental health check-ins at community partner sites. Approximately 74% of our new clients were uninsured and, of those reporting, 49% of our clients made $25,000 or less per year. Counseling was provided on a sliding-scale fee basis dependent upon annual income and 91% of our counseling visits were provided for $25 or less, with no one turned away due to inability to pay. Due to the impact of Hurricane Helene, we waived all client fees from October 1, 2024 - March 31, 2025. We served our clients with a hybrid of both in-person and virtual therapy sessions utilizing a team of 25 licensed therapists who offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling to address issues including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, addiction
- recovery, grief and loss, life transitions, postpartum depression, parenting issues, marriage and family relationships, sexual orientation and/or gender identity issues (LGBTQ-affirming), stress management, victims of crime, and domestic violence. Bilingual English/Spanish counseling is also available on a limited basis. We partnered with Haywood Street Congregation and the Lunch as the Crossroads program at First Baptist Church in Asheville to provide on-site counseling support to individuals who were unhoused and/or are living in transitional housing. We also continued our formal referral partnership with Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) to provide psychiatric services for clients needing a higher level of care and/or access to medicine management. Over the past year we expanded our Help the Helpers initiative to provide services to the staff of four direct service organizations working with vulnerable populations.
- Additionally, we provided 484 therapist hours in Community-Based support due to Hurricane Helene. This support was provided at Comfort Care Stations, One Buncombe Events and Community Dinners serving 2,404 contacts. ASCC therapists use the Global Assessment of Functioning scale pre- and post-treatment to evaluate improvement in behavioral health issues. During FY2025, of the clients who were seen at least 3 times, 83.15% showed improvement via their GAF scores. During FY 2025, we administered a client survey to measure client satisfaction with our counseling services. Of the client surveys collected during the 2025 fiscal year, 90% of participants selected Strongly Agree and 10% of participants selected Agree when reporting improvement in managing daily activities as a result of therapy through ASCC.
