ABOUT US
Aspire Advocates for Behavioral Health is a volunteer-led grassroots movement. We represent the families, friends, and individuals whose lives have been impacted by the mental illness or substance use disorder of someone 26 or younger. Together, we advocate for excellence in the identification and treatment of behavioral health disorders. Our goal is for children, teens, and young adults to have access to high quality behavioral healthcare services that are covered in-network by insurers. Our organization works with educators, medical professionals, advocacy groups, and legislators to improve the quality of life of young people with behavioral health disorders.
We fully support the #B4Stage4 movement sponsored by Mental Health America. This movement advocates for early intervention in behavioral health disorders. The right early treatment can save lives, reduce school drop-out rates, hospitalizations, and incarceration.
