April is World Autism Month!
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological & developmental disorder characterized by challenges with social skills, speech and nonverbal communication, learning, and repetitive or restrictive behaviors, thinking, or interests.
Alaska Behavioral Health supports children and adults who have autism with any mental health needs (which may or not be associated with their autism!)

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month! We love the sentiment of @Alaska Children's Trust CEO Trevor Storrs in a recent opinion piece -Mandatory Supporters Before Mandatory Reporters: "If you see a family struggling, reach out and offer support. Maybe that means lending a sympathetic ear to a parent in need or calling 2-1-1 to connect a family with resources. By offering your support early, you may be preventing that family from ever needing to be reported."
