Wow - Spin For A Cause, so grateful for this support again for our Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Alaska Behavioral Health!
Fairbanks friends - follow Spin for a Cause - its not too late to sign up a team!We’re thrilled to announce that one of our official beneficiaries for Spin for a Cause is the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Alaska Behavioral Health! This clinic plays a vital role in our community by providing essential mental health support and services to our military personnel and their families. 🎗️
As residents of the Golden Heart City, we deeply value the contributions of our military community, which is why supporting the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Alaska Behavioral Health is incredibly important to us. The brave men and women who serve, along with their families, deserve access to the best care possible, and the Cohen clinic is dedicated to providing just that. 💙
Not only do we have a strong commitment to our military community, but we also have the privilege of working alongside two of our very own instructors who are military spouses. Their dedication and the unique perspective they bring to our community is truly invaluable. 🌟
We’re especially grateful to Shannon and the entire team at the Cohen clinic for their unwavering dedication to supporting our soldiers and their families. Shannon’s passion and commitment to this cause are truly inspiring, and we couldn’t be more proud to partner with her and the Cohen clinic once again.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month! We love the sentiment of @Alaska Children's Trust CEO Trevor Storrs in a recent opinion piece -Mandatory Supporters Before Mandatory Reporters: "If you see a family struggling, reach out and offer support. Maybe that means lending a sympathetic ear to a parent in need or calling 2-1-1 to connect a family with resources. By offering your support early, you may be preventing that family from ever needing to be reported."
