Ketchikan Wellness Coalition

The Ketchikan Wellness Coalition, located at 60 Don Finney Lane, Suite 203 in Ketchikan, Alaska, serves as a cornerstone for community health and well-being.

Through collaborative action and evidence-based initiatives, the Coalition focuses on improving quality of life and addressing the most pressing health challenges facing the Ketchikan community.

The Coalition operates multiple task forces and programs that focus on critical issues such as mental health, suicide prevention, substance use reduction, and youth empowerment. Through initiatives like Mental Health First Aid training, public awareness campaigns, and peer support programs, the organization helps decrease stigma and strengthen community resilience. By uniting mental health professionals, educators, faith leaders, and citizens under a common vision, the Ketchikan Wellness Coalition continues to create meaningful, lasting change for individuals and families across southern Alaska.
