May 2026 Edition

JOIN US AT CAMP!

Come connect, breathe, and learn with us…starting June 6!

We invite BOTH parents and youth to register for this unique Saturday day camp, held twice in June and twice in August at Happy Dog Ranch in Sedalia. Through hands-on experiences with our incredible animal “faculty,” participants learn how to make healthy choices by staying grounded, connected, protected, and nurtured.

While these animals depend on ranch staff to care for them, they offer powerful lessons about something uniquely yours—your freedom to choose. Through their example, you’ll discover how to build resilience, strengthen your mind, and create a life rooted in intentional, healthy decisions.

June 6 & 27, August 1 & 29 at 8am-2pm

PARTNERSHIP - SHERIFF’S OFFICE

The Aspen Effect's Teen Advisory Board did a stellar job in presenting findings from their Douglas County student substance use prevention survey to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officers. The SROs found the information valuable and intent to use it in their role as student mentors! Great partnership!

We are looking for new youth members to begin in Fall 2026. Apply here!

 

PARTNERSHIP - ALLHEALTH NETWORK

On May 18, the AllHealth Network put a social media spotlight on The Aspen Effect for Mental Health Awareness Month. The AllHealth Network is a nonprofit mental health organization providing counseling, psychiatry, crisis services, substance use treatment, and more. We are truly grateful for their partnership and leadership in the mental health space.
