Mental health challenges affect about 1 in 4 people, yet many still carry their struggles in silence because of shame or fear. Starting a conversation (listening without judgment, or sharing how you’re really doing) can open the door to connection and support.

Today is a perfect day to begin with a reminder that talking about mental health can change lives. At Akeela, we believe every conversation is a step toward healing.

We know 1 in 5 Alaskans experience a mental health condition each year. At Akeela, it’s our passion to be part of meaningful conversations that can make the difference between life and death. But we can’t do it alone, we need your help to stay connected with you, your loved ones, and your community.

Our staff are the heartbeat of Akeela. Our mentors, counselors, coordinators, and support teams meet people where they are and walk with them toward new beginnings.

Blue Monday may not be backed by stats as the "saddest day of the year," but we use it as a reminder to talk about how winter can affect our moods and well‑being. It’s dark, cold, and if you’re feeling isolated, it can feel especially heavy this time of year. Let’s start the conversation.

Together, we are building the Akeela of the next 50 years—one grounded in quality, compassion, and clinical excellence.

Thank you volunteers! You help our street outreach efforts immensely!

People often ask about bringing children. We welcome kids but ask that they be old enough to help or that you bring an extra adult to watch them. We aren't able to offer childcare. Thanks for understanding!
