Mission
To empower youth and families to reach their full potential through community engagement, trauma-informed education, social and behavioral health services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The trauma-informed residential facility provides 24 total beds for youth ages 12-18. Three living suites provide a safe, therapeutic living environment for 8 youth, each with their own room. The residential program uses a variety of evidence-based models including target and restorative practices to help address the challenges faced by youth with historical trauma, behavioral challenges, and mental health and substance use treatment needs. The average length of stay for a youth is 6-12 months.

Radius staff continue to provide direct assistance to families during and after their residential stay.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.0M to $24M (+2217%).
