2011 Annual Report & 2012 Spring Update

President’s Message
Annual Report 2011
I joined the Board of Directors of Oasis Counseling for
Women and Children in 2006 and it has been a joy to witness
its growth and success over the last 6 years. In 2011, I had
the honor of serving as Board President. We added a second
play therapist to the staff and saw a 26% increase in services
to children and adolescents. We increased earned revenue by
seeking new third-party providers and we ended the year
on sound financial footing despite unstable economic times.
None of this success, however, would be possible without
the generosity of individual donors, the business community,
charitable foundations, and numerous volunteers. Thank you
to our friends and donors whose on-going support makes it
possible for us to continue making a positive impact in the lives
of so many women and children. I hope you find this report
informative and that it confirms your commitment to our
critical mission in the community.
Our Mission
To help women and children heal, grow and overcome
difficult life circumstances by providing affordable
mental health counseling and innovative educational
programs in a respectful and nurturing environment.
Carla S. Roberson
2011 Board President
“Oasis saved my life,
literally. I was in a dark
place, unemployed and
depressed. Finding an
affordable option like
Oasis has been a life-line
for me.” Molly, age 30

Our Goals
• To improve the psychological, social and occupational
functioning of our clients
• To link women and children to services at a time when
they have a high probability of improvement, and
before they become more severely impaired
• To ensure all services are affordable to our clients,
thereby removing cost as a major obstacle to treatment
