Yukon Flats Behavioral Health Center

Located in Fort Yukon, Alaska, Yukon Flats Behavioral Health Center provides a vital network of behavioral health services to the region’s Alaska Native and rural communities. Operated under the Council of Athabascan Tribal Governments (CATG), this small but impactful facility offers culturally appropriate care through a generalist model. Services are delivered by a dedicated team of Behavioral Health Aides (BHAs), a Master’s-level clinician, and a licensed clinical supervisor. These providers offer a comprehensive array of outpatient services, including behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment, trauma-informed care, assessments, brief interventions, and referrals for more intensive inpatient treatment as needed.

Yukon Flats Behavioral Health emphasizes community-based and culturally grounded approaches, offering support not only to individuals but also to couples and families. The center serves adults directly and refers children and adolescents to appropriate resources within the CATG service area. Prevention and education programs are a cornerstone of its mission, with outreach efforts in schools and villages focusing on suicide prevention, domestic violence, sexual assault, and substance use awareness. The center’s commitment to confidentiality, patient rights, and collaborative treatment planning reflects its mission to foster healing, resilience, and well-being in Fort Yukon and surrounding communities.
