wHAT IS ASPIRE?
ASPIRE is a structured, technology-driven assessment that maps a resident’s strengths and needs across six dimensions of life.
The result is a personalized Life Map, tracked across 53 indicators, showing exactly where someone stands and exactly where they’re headed — from suffering, to struggling, to thriving.
