Summer is the perfect time for growth! 🌟 Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for kids and teens is kicking into summer mode, beginning May 26!
This summer, your child can build real coping skills, gain confidence, and connect with peers in a supportive group setting. We offer two age groups, meeting Monday–Thursday from 9:30 AM–12:30 PM, so the afternoons are still free for all the fun summer stuff.
The best part? Kids keep seeing their regular therapist while getting extra support through IOP. It's a team approach built around your child.

Here's what doesn't get said enough: mental health conditions are treatable.
Most people who seek help — through therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination — see real improvement. If you've been hesitating to reach out, this is your reminder that help works. 💜

🦔 Did you know the porcupine is one of the softest animals in the forest — yet carries 30,000 quills?
Tessa Groshoff, LMHC, REAT, EMDRIA-Approved Trainer & Consultant, uses this powerful metaphor to explore how our clients protect their most vulnerable places — and how we can help them heal. At the 2026 Alaska Advanced Trauma Training Institute, Tessa leads The Porcupine Within, an immersive expressive arts experience weaving together body awareness, trauma metaphor, and hands-on art-making.
She'll also offer Threads of Light — a session using fiber-based weaving as a crisis resource for therapists, rooted in Coast Salish traditions and EMDR Phase 2 resourcing. No weaving experience necessary. Just open hands. 🧵

We wouldn't tell someone with a broken arm to "just push through it." Mental health conditions are real, common, and deserving of the same care we give physical health.
Mental health is health. Full Stop.

Universal screening is one of the most effective ways to identify and prevent suicide — and the gold-standard tool for doing so was developed by the Columbia University Lighthouse Project.
We're thrilled to announce that Dr. Adam Lesser, Deputy Director, will be a keynote speaker at this year's Alaska Advanced Trauma Training Institute. Dr. Lesser has published widely, presented internationally, and consulted with state and local governments on best practices for suicide risk identification and prevention.
📅 June 9–11, 2026 | Anchorage, AK
🔗 Registration is now open — join us! loom.ly/Qixfcr0
Dr. Lesser will also deliver a separate FREE presentation for primary care providers and anyone in a position to offer universal screening. The goal: help people feel more comfortable asking direct, potentially life-saving questions. Registration open here: loom.ly/w0c1nUU
A huge thank you to GCI for helping bring Dr. Lesser to Alaska! 🙏
