ASPEN Network Inc. started as a network of partners collaborating to enhance community mental health resources in Missouri. These partners identified service gaps and worked together to improve access to care for residents. The collaboration emphasized better communication among partners and the creation of a shared resource directory for easier access to services. As the community’s mental health needs increased, the partners expanded their focus to include mental health screening tools and unique resources to address this growing demand. The objective of our network and ASPEN is to promote community-wide solutions that contribute to healthier, more productive lives.
“Aspens grow as a community; they are interconnected by their roots and share nutrients and resources to support each other. Underneath, they are survivors.”
