Alaska Behavioral Health extends its reach in Fairbanks through its school-based mental health services, ensuring that children and adolescents receive consistent behavioral health support where they spend most of their day—at school. As part of a system-wide approach to care, this program connects students with trained mental health professionals who provide individualized therapy, crisis intervention, and skill development in coordination with families and educators.
Rooted in trauma-informed care, school-based services focus on helping young people manage anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and behavioral issues, while also fostering emotional regulation and academic success. These services are especially vital for children navigating complex life challenges who may otherwise go without mental health support.
By bringing behavioral health care directly into Fairbanks schools, Alaska Behavioral Health continues its mission to improve access, reduce stigma, and promote long-term recovery and wellness among Alaska’s youth.
The receptionist was great, very upbeat and friendly. Dr. Taylor and her assistant were friendly and competent. I wish there was more time to talk to the doctor and wasn't so rushed. Glad to see you have hired smother doctor to help carry the load.
From the front desk nurses medical staff I feel welcomed safe being here and honest how I feel. Know I won't be judged and that they really care about me and what if anything I need anytime over the phone or face to face ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶😵💫😵💫😁
I feel very fortunate that I was able to have TMS as a treatment option. I was able to be seen for "extended" therapy. I am using traditional therapy, medication, (used) EMDR and other methods for changes. The aforementioned has improved, but I felt as if it was my final chance to really see changes within myself. When I was essentially told that putting a magnet on my head could help, I though the same thing you are... "Is this electrotherapy of the 1700s and 1800s". Turns out it's slightly different. You aren't having convulsions from electricity, you aren't strapped to a table, you aren't talked to as if you're insane and you aren't going to be a shell of who you were.
This recovery center is the only program out of 4 facilities that I’ve been to that actually helped me. They stood by me when I needed help and then walked with me when I needed guidance on how to stay on a track that progresses forward. I was stabilized and then assured longevity through the program, material, structure, and most importantly, kindness and love. True North Recovery and every single employee that is there holds a very special place in my heart, because through their work, I’ve been gifted a new life- one that I want to be here for
