VOA Alaska accepts outside agency assessments. Our Rapid Response team specializes in crisis intervention for youth and young adults ages 12-24. The team, which includes mental health clinicians and peer support specialists, additionally provides free consultations to parents, caregivers, and youth-serving professionals. Call Rapid Response during regular business hours at (907) 419-4158.
If a program has a waitlist, no problem! We provide interim services, including connection with a clinician, peer support specialists, and group counseling.
