The HDC Foundation: Our mission statement is why we exist.

The Human Development Center’s mission is to lead our communities by providing integrated, culturally respectful mental health and addiction services that foster hope, self-determination, and recovery. Our focus on serving those most in need improves the quality of life for all.

From the Director of the HDC Foundation

Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn more about HDC’s mission and the great work we do.

The HDC staff, board, and volunteers work tirelessly to fulfill the mission of the organization. It is an important mission and you would be hard-pressed to find a more professional, compassionate, and dedicated staff. While HDC serves everyone, regardless of income or illness or the type of insurance they have (or don’t have), our special focus on serving those who are most in need sets us apart in the communities we serve. Who is most in need?

Those most in need refers to the high number of un-insured people we help. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the people who seek out our care come to us with no insurance or with publicly subsidized insurance. We offer a sliding fee scale to people who are uninsured and work tirelessly on educating the community on the importance of identifying and treating mental health concerns.

Those most in need refers to the specialty we have in working with people who are experiencing the most severe and disabling mental illnesses.

Those most in need refers to the individuals and families we help who find themselves without the assurance of their personal safety. HDC provides advocacy and help to people experiencing homelessness, domestic abuse, or suicidal thoughts, among other things.

HDC cannot do all of this fine work without financial support from people like you. Will you help? Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today.

Your gifts will:

  • Support HDC’s community outreach efforts to our most vulnerable neighbors
  • Allow HDC to continue to offer a sliding-fee scale for people without health care coverage.

  • Provide production support for “Speak Your Mind”, an 18 episode television series on WDSE-WRPT North (click here for the “Speak Your Mind” website) dedicated to openly discuss the many different types of mental health issues and to create understanding
