Youth Advocates of Sitka Inc Sitka Receiving Home

Our mission is to support the mental health of Alaska's youth and their families.  Our vision is to empower youth to grow into healthy, happy, and productive members of our community.

We accomplish this by providing wrap around mental and behavioral health services to youth and their families in the home, school, and community.  Our target population is youth ages 5-21 who have experienced trauma which has impacted their ability to function successfully. All of our clients have been diagnosed by a mental health practitioner as Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED) which is often a result of trauma.  Our clients earn low incomes and qualify for Medicaid or Denali Kid Care.
