Behavioral health support across beneficiary groups and the lifespan, including
co-occurring disorders

Innovative and Promising Practices for Serving Trust beneficiaries



Strengthening our Continuum of Care for Trust beneficiaries



Incorporating lived experience and beneficiary perspectives into programs and

The work of the Trust aligns with Strengthening the System: Alaska’s
Comprehensive Integrated Mental Health Program Plan (Comp Plan), that was
developed in a partnership between the Trust and the Department of Health and
Social Services in coordination with community stakeholders. The Comp Plan
identifies priorities for the next five years to inform planning and funding
decisions to meet the needs of Trust beneficiaries. The intent is to strengthen
the system of care to allow a comprehensive approach that quickly meets their
needs.
