Welcome
Alaska Children’s Services (ACS) is a private nonprofit organization providing hope to young people facing tremendous challenges in their lives.
Mental and behavioral health issues can cause adolescents and children to become involved in crime, substance abuse, self-harm and other highly destructive activities. The struggle to deal with these issues divides families.
Our programs were developed to bring people together to support the student as they build a healthier lifestyle. Our range of services meets the student at whatever level of care they need:
- Home-Based Services (Community Programs)
- Therapeutic Foster Care
- Residential Psychiatric Treatment
The student and people close to them meet with ACS staff to develop an individual treatment plan. The plan is reviewed periodically to make sure the student is on track and the plan continues to reflect their needs and goals.
When a student graduates from treatment, we are confident they have the skills, knowledge and support system to make positive choices and live a healthy lifestyle.
