Our recent licensing visit at our Fairbanks residential facility went well!

"I've never seen a program that was better organized or prepared." 🤩

It isn't just for inspections: a clean, safe, organized facility with home-cooked meals is the norm!

Providing 24/7 care for clients is a big responsibility, and the care taken by our staff shows.

Recognizing the signs early can make all the difference 🚨

Early warning signs of psychosis may include:
🔸Changes in sleep patterns or appetite
🔸Difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly
🔸Withdrawing from friends and activities
🔸Unusual or intense thoughts or feelings
🔸Seeing, hearing, or believing things others don't experience
🔸Feeling confused about what's real

Important reminders:
🔸 These signs don't automatically mean psychosis
🔸 Early intervention leads to better outcomes
🔸 Professional help is available and effective
🔸 You don't have to wait for a crisis to seek support

Trust your instincts. Alaska Behavioral Health provides comprehensive services for all ages. We're here to help.
