Located in Anchorage, Alaska, the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority is a pioneering state corporation dedicated to transforming the mental health landscape across the state. Charged with administering the Alaska Mental Health Trust—a perpetual trust fund—the organization funds and supports a broad array of services for Alaskans living with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, emotional disturbances, and other behavioral health conditions. The Trust operates with the strategic vision and flexibility of a private foundation, investing in long-term systemic change while directly addressing the immediate needs of its beneficiaries. Central to its mission is ensuring that Alaska maintains a comprehensive and integrated mental health program that evolves alongside the needs of its people.
The Trust plays a foundational role in developing and funding Alaska’s behavioral health system, with key initiatives including the Crisis Now framework, which establishes real-time access to 24/7 crisis call centers, mobile response teams, and short-term stabilization options. These initiatives are vital in moving behavioral health emergencies out of law enforcement and emergency rooms and into appropriately trained community-based systems. The Trust also prioritizes prevention, access to care, stigma reduction, and alignment with the state’s long-term Comprehensive Integrated Mental Health Program Plan. Through its Trust Land Office, it manages over one million acres of land to generate sustainable revenue for mental health programs statewide. As a trusted convener, funder, and system architect, the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority is redefining how mental health and substance use services are supported, accessed, and delivered across urban and rural Alaska.

I was all alone and homeless. I was living in my car with my cat, Lacey until my car was stolen from me. I ended up in a tent for 4 months until the snow covered my tent. I went to the Web with my heart in my hands. These folks took a lot of time with me. Treated me so nice. They didnt even judge me. They helped me with the deposit on a place to live and even sent me the paperwork for $1500 for furniture and stuff to set me up. I will always be grateful to them. Brenda Martin
Was easy to use just a little confusing when switching between individuals. Letting the patient know you’ll be getting off the video chat was really the only issue. Letting the patient know to wait for the next provider to join. Other then that it was really easy to use.
I've been seeing Sara Kozup for some time. She is one of the most caring and patient providers I have seen. Sara's office is very professional and understanding. Highly recommend
Great program! They have a fantastic mission to support and empower youth while providing local food to increase food security in Alaska. This program is Changing people's lives and the future of Alaska. Seeds of Change has phenomenal produce that exceeds flavor, quality, and shelf life. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone who lives in Alaska and loves to eat food!
it changed me for the better and i was only there for 3 months although since i left it felt like my progress has slipped out of my hands now that i’m home, whatever you do don’t run away it’s not worth it.
