Group therapy may not be your first choice, but evidence shows it can be as effective, or even more effective, than individual therapy. And it might mean you get help sooner!

Teens who report chronic stress are twice as likely to try alcohol before age 15, and research shows using alcohol before age 15 increases the risk of developing an alcohol use disorder later in life.
Helping young people learn healthy coping skills can benefit them throughout their lives!

It's Sleep Awareness Week! It's estimated that as many as 90% of U.S. teens don't get enough sleep, which affects schoolwork, safety, and mental health.
Not all the factors contributing to poor sleep are under our control, there are things we can do to help:
- maintain consistent bedtimes and routines
- minimize caffeine intake, especially after 2 pm
- minimize screentime before bed

Recovery starts at home. 💙
Alaska Behavioral Health now offers Family Based Treatment (FBT) — the gold standard for eating disorders in children and adolescents — right here in Alaska.
Treatment is available in Anchorage, Wasilla, Fairbanks, and via telehealth statewide.
FBT empowers parents as the primary agents of their child's recovery. It's structured, time-bound, and backed by research.
Learn how FBT works and whether it might be right for your family 👇

Check out our Fiscal year 2025 Annual Report!
In FY 2025, we focused on improving access to care, by implementing a new call center to more quickly schedule patient appointments, initiating a Collaborative Care program to connect primary care clients to short-term behavioral health supports, and adding an Intensive Outpatient Program of children and teens in Anchorage to provide quick support for kids in crisis. We're proud that we served more Alaskans than ever in FY 2025!
