AESM Gives Back

At AESM, we believe that just as our role with individuals is to heal, our role within the community is to help. We support various causes, but here are a few that are particularly close to us.

Kids Help Phone

Kids Help Phone is a national organization dedicated to the mental health of children. It provides 24/7 online and telephone counseling services for kids in crisis. It also provides information to kids on topics like how to cope with bullying, or ending cycles of violence and abuse.

The AESM team, friends, family and patients helped raise over $5000 in the Bell Walk for Kids Help Phone in 2008. We’re hoping to beat that total in 2009! If you’re interested in donating, please look out for our donation page in spring of 2009.
