 At North Star, we believe in children and want to help them achieve their optimal abilities and reach for the stars. In fact, believing in and working with children, teens and their families is what we do. We’re Alaska’s premier behavioral health provider that specializes in helping young people with life’s challenges. North Star recognizes that childhood should be a time of joy, fulfillment, growth and nurturing care. We also recognize that situations happen that are beyond young people’s control or ability to effectively handle. Our programs at North Star work with the family and the community to help facilitate optimal growth and nurturing throughout times of childhood adversity. Our goal is to help young people get on a track that leads to a life of youthfulness – the life that children and adolescents deserve. North Star offers a continuum of care designed to specifically meet the unique needs of children at any given stage of childhood and adolescent development. Our highly specialized team of doctors, nurses, therapists and other professionals work with you to ensure quality behavioral health services. We also work closely with those you trust in your own community so that children and adolescents have the support they need to ensure a bright future, filled with childhood growth, fulfillment and joy. The unique challenges faced by children and teens are different from those of adults. North Star Hospital has four units to address the specific developmental needs of children and adolescents. At North Star, we have a children’s unit (age 6-9), a pre-teen unit (age 10-12), an adolescent boys unit (age 13-17), and an adolescent girls unit (age 13-17). Because the needs of children are different from those of pre-teens and teenagers, our programs are structured to meet each youth’s skill and understanding level. North Star Behavioral Health System is committed to providing an atmosphere where children and adolescents can increase an ability to trust others, work through life’s challenges and learn skills to effectively face their future.
