Fairbanks Clinic offers mental health services to military members, families and affiliates
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - When it comes to mental health for our military service members, veterans, and families, sometimes finding the right help can feel like a barrier.
Geese says working with the Cohen Clinic is a full-circle job for her. Her previous volunteerism also led her to find work that highlights the importance of mental health within the military community. In 2021, there were 11 soldier suicides reported in the state, and at the time there were an additional 6 deaths that were pending investigation. In February of 2022, U.S. Army Alaska, mainly Fort Wainwright, had the second-highest rate of suicides per capita among all U.S. Army installations over that year.
In Fairbanks, the clinic celebrated its 1-year anniversary in July, and now that most COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted they are offering more than telehealth - they are now taking in-person clients. With their second location in Anchorage, they are able to provide services to the whole state.
