As mental health needs increase in Alaska and the nation, it has become more difficult to find resources for care, particularly for children and adolescents. Problems with hospital care in Alaska have made headlines. However, newer intensive outpatient programs help bridge this gap. A partial hospital program for children ages 9-15 offers short-term intensive group therapy and incorporates ASD education so students don’t get left behind. Join me, Dr. Justin Clark, as I explore mental health options for Alaskan youth. That’s Line One, Wednesday at 10 am, repeating at 8 pm on Alaska Public Media FM 91.1.
