AK Child & Family Maley Center

Located in the heart of Anchorage, Alaska, the AK Child & Family Maley Center serves as the central hub for a network of therapeutic and community-based services designed to support youth and families navigating serious emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. As the administrative home to the organization’s Therapeutic Treatment Home Services (TTHS), Home-Based Treatment, and C.A.R.E.S. programs, the Maley Center plays a pivotal role in coordinating intensive care, trauma-informed interventions, and family-centered wraparound support for individuals ages 3 to 21. With dedicated therapy spaces, sensory and activity rooms, and access to community engagement opportunities, the center is purposefully built to foster safety, connection, and growth.

AK Child & Family's continuum of care emphasizes maintaining youth in home and community settings whenever possible. Their Therapeutic Treatment Home Services provide a clinically intensive yet nurturing alternative to residential care by placing youth with specially trained treatment parents who collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to implement individualized care plans. The Home-Based Treatment and C.A.R.E.S. programs extend this work through family preservation, prevention, and empowerment efforts that build on natural supports and community resources. This dynamic and holistic model supports long-term healing, addresses root causes of trauma, and helps youth successfully transition to greater independence or reunification with family. The Maley Center stands as a critical anchor for behavioral health intervention in Alaska, supporting the state’s most vulnerable youth with compassion, structure, and cultural responsiveness.
