Struggling to find suitable mental health resources for your child? This episode is your key to unlocking accessible help. Join me, Steve Horn, as I navigate the intricacies of Aspen, a platform revolutionizing mental health care in our county, with Jacqueline Brown from Aspen Network Incorporated, and Billie Hartgrove, the Mental Health Coordinator for the DeSoto School District. Jacqueline enlightens us about Aspen's unique preventive approach, empowering students to self-screen and connect to appropriate resources before reaching a crisis point, making mental health care more proactive than reactive.

If early signs of troubles surface, don't wait for a crisis to erupt. Reach out to your school's mental health professional and learn how to connect your child with Aspen. We're here to help, tune in to learn more about this game-changing platform and its comprehensive resource directory, that extends help beyond just mental health.
