The Aspen Hope Center was established in June 2010 to meet the unmet mental health needs in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. Those gaps in service were identified in a comprehensive study conducted by the University of Colorado Denver Depression Center in 2009. The Aspen Hope Center has two teams covering from Aspen, CO to Parachute, CO 24 hours/day, offering crisis services for those in emotional crisis and offering a continuum of comprehensive care.
