School-based Mental Health Program

Aspen Hope Center has partnered with the Roaring Fork School District, Aspen School District, Garfield County Re-2 and other local schools to help provide mental health support to students. With 19 mental health clinicians in schools spanning Aspen to Rifle, these professionals are assigned to one school and work in tandem with the school counselors, staff and administration to remove all barriers to receiving counseling and intervention services. Students can seek help at their school, with no charge and without mounds of paperwork or lengthy intake processes.

The school-based clinicians are tasked with providing individual and group counseling, socio-emotional check-ins and a small amount of staff development. These clinicians work in the prevention realm of crisis, seeing youth identified as in need or at risk in the hopes of preventing a crisis from occurring.
