SPOTLIGHT ORGANIZATION OF THE MONTH
AspenOUT recognizes that in the past mental health of the LGBTQIA+ community in the Roaring Fork Valley has been underserved. In the last several years, we have had great success in providing much needed mental health services for the queer community. We have reached a point where we need to expand the availability and distribution of mental health services. We are happy to announce our partnership with HeadQuarters. HQ will manage and oversee the distribution of a portion of AspenOUT’s Mental Health Fund. HQ which will provide a data driven information system that will provide a valuable assessment of needs in the RFV. Thank you HQ!
