The Counseling Center of Milwaukee, Inc. (TCCM) was established in 1970, and today serves more than 11,500 men, women and children annually. Motivated by our mission to help, adults, and families in need take charge of their lives, connect to others, and contribute to the community, our programs are designed to protect children, strengthen individuals and families, and improve the emotional and mental health of people at risk in our community. For decades, we have been leaders in the Milwaukee area serving those who face family violence, sexual abuse, homelessness, HIV infection, concerns related to sexual orientation, and mental illness. Since the 1970s, TCCM - working closely with UWM, Marquette University, and Loyola University - has been one of Milwaukee’s foremost training facilities dedicated to strengthening the quality of clinical services to those in need. As an award-winning United Way supported agency, TCCM is recognized as an effective and efficient provider of service to those most in need. TCCM’s major initiatives include:

• Pathfinders: Wisconsin’s oldest, most comprehensive service for Runaway, "Throwaway" & Homeless Youth.
• Hand-In-Hand: Milwaukee’s oldest, most comprehensive ongoing counseling program for young victims of sexual abuse.
• Step 5: Milwaukee’s leading program for youth with sexual behavior problems.
• Women-to-Women: Milwaukee’s premier HIV prevention and education initiative for our community’s highest risk women.
• Counseling and Group Program: One of Milwaukee’s leading providers of accessible, mental health care and support for those unable to afford services.
• Training: Milwaukee’s foremost, longest standing program for undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate training in social work and mental health services.

With an annual budget of $1.6 million, TCCM employs a diverse group of approximately 50 full- and part-time staff, as well as professional consultants, certified therapists and more than 100 volunteers. In the past year, more than 11,500 individuals received TCCM services. Of those receiving direct services, 62% were African American, 16% Caucasian, 10% Hispanic and 12% were Asian, Native American or another race/bi-racial. 2003 client demographics also show that 57% of clients were female and 39% were male (with 4% other or unknown). Services are offered at little or no cost and the vast majority of TCCM’s clients are low-income.
