Allentown, PA – 10/09/2025 – ASPIRE to Autonomy Inc., a leader in community-based support and advocacy, will host the official Grand Opening Celebration for the outpatient Mental Health Clinic. The event will take place on Thursday, October 9th from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the clinic’s location, 411 West Walnut Street, Easton, PA.
This event marks a significant milestone in the Lehigh Valley’s healthcare landscape. The ASPIRE Mental Health Clinic is the first and only outpatient provider in the region whose primary focus is delivering specialized, trauma-informed care to individuals impacted by human trafficking. While the clinic has been operational for the past year, this celebration formally introduces its vital services to the broader community and highlights its early successes.
Recently celebrating seven years of dedicated community support, ASPIRE, under the leadership of Co-founders Amber Karom and Darnell Davis, has established itself as a critical resource for vulnerable populations. The launch and growth of the Mental Health Clinic have been significantly bolstered by a strategic partnership with Concern, allowing ASPIRE to expand its reach and deepen its impact.
“For the past year, our clinic has quietly been doing groundbreaking work, providing a sanctuary for healing and demonstrating the profound impact that specialized, accessible mental health care can have,” said Darnell Davis, Co-Founder. “This Grand Opening is not just a celebration of our new space; it is a celebration of the resilience of our clients and a testament to what is possible when a community comes together to address the deepest wounds of trauma and exploitation.”
The Grand Opening event will provide an opportunity for community leaders, partners, and the public to tour the facility, meet the clinical team, and learn more about ASPIRE’s comprehensive approach to healing and autonomy.
