Depression looks different in men. While women may show sadness, men often experience irritability, anger, fatigue, or risky behaviors.

Society tells men to 'tough it out,' but seeking help takes real strength! 💪

Celebrating our staff and the meaningful contributions they make every day!

Please join us in recognizing Clinical Associate Rose from our Tamarack Residential Program in Fairbanks on 2.5 years with Alaska Behavioral Health. Rose’s hard work and dedication are deeply appreciated by our team and community.

To mark the occasion, Tamarack’s mascot, Dr. Goose Willis, was dressed as Rose for the day—pigtails and all! It was a fun and fitting tribute to a valued member of our Alaska Behavioral Health family.

Thank you, Rose, for all that you do. Congratulations on this milestone!

As Alaska's days grow shorter, some experience Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD affects 4-20% of adults and involves changes in mood tied to seasons. Winter-pattern SAD can cause oversleeping, carb cravings, and social withdrawal.

❄️ Exercise, Vitamin D, light therapy, and social interaction help a lot, but they aren't always enough.
Therapy and anti-depressants are effective in treating SAD!

October is Depression Awareness Month 💚

Depression isn't just feeling sad. It can show up as losing interest in things you love, changes in sleep or appetite, feeling sluggish, or having trouble concentrating.

Recognizing the signs is the first step.

Heads Up: Our outpatient clinics will be closed on Thursday, October 15 for an All Staff training day!

We prioritize training throughout the year, usually without disrupting services, but that means some teams can't fully participate. So this time, most teams services are taking a pause. That includes our client access team, so if you know you need to call this week, please call us before Thursday! All messages left on the 15th will be returned on Friday, October 16.

Our Residential program for adults and Partial Hospitalization Programs for children and adults will operate as usual.
