What Center for Holistic Development does

Center for Holistic Development, Inc. (CHD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit behavioral health organization founded in June 2001 by Doris Moore in Omaha, Nebraska. The organization delivers holistic behavioral healthcare and education programs to individuals, families, and groups, with a stated mission to address gaps in culturally, linguistically, and developmentally appropriate services for the African-American community. CHD operates a portfolio of nine interconnected programs spanning outpatient counseling (mental health and substance abuse using DSM-based assessments), youth development (Real Talk social-emotional learning, Urban Youth B.O.L.T., Empower Project), early childhood support (KidSquad), family services (Family Engagement & Resource Connection, Holistic Family Support Services using the proprietary R.E.S.T.O.R.E. model), mentoring (GrandFriends), and community outreach (Brighter Days suicide prevention, Still I Rise domestic violence resources, free behavioral health screenings).

The underlying technology is standard nonprofit clinical and curriculum-based delivery with no proprietary platform. Tools include DSM-driven assessments, evidence-based curricula adapted from outside programs (Circle of Security Parenting, Nurturing Parenting, Wings for Kids-inspired Real Talk), and the internally developed R.E.S.T.O.R.E. coaching framework. Service delivery occurs at the Omaha headquarters, in homes, schools, partner organization locations, and online via virtual coaching and screenings.

CHD's business model combines clinical service revenue (insurance, Medicaid, sliding scale for outpatient counseling and family support) with grant and donation funding typical of a 501(c)(3). The go-to-market is community-led: referrals flow from the Juvenile Assessment Center, schools, parents, partner agencies, and community word-of-mouth, supported by a social media presence and free screening events. The organization serves a concentrated Omaha-area client base with a demographic focus on the African-American community from early childhood through adulthood.
