Body
Summary:
Diversus Health, formerly Aspen Pointe, was established 145 years ago, when we were named the Springs Relief Society. At the time, we were known for delivering coal, lumber, and clothing to our community’s most vulnerable. Today, we are the largest behavioral health care provider in El Paso, Park, and Teller counties, in Colorado.
Our brand, Diversus Health, is rooted in championing the diverse experiences each stakeholder brings to their mental health journey. We recognize the value that life experiences play in mental health and seek to leverage that value in aiding our clients with their needs.
Our continuum of care focuses on four core services involving addiction, counseling, crisis management, and psychiatric therapy. Each service area maintains a wide range of unique wellness programs and initiatives for our clients.
