Yes, it is about time. Santa Clara County has no step down partial hospitalization program for youth who are leaving hospitalization for a mental health issue. ASPIRE works to fill this void (as well as providing help for less severe mental health issues). Every family needs access to this program; it’s awesome that now all children will have it. If you have any concerns about your child’s emotional state, call ASPIRE for a free consultation.
