Strengthening partnerships with schools is one of the most meaningful parts of our work—and testimonials like this remind us why it matters so much.

A counselor from Burlington‑Edison High School recently shared their experience after referring a student to our Virtual Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). As behavioral health needs continue to grow—especially in rural communities—our goal is to make accessing care faster, easier and more supportive for both families and the professionals who serve them.

Our Director of Rural Outpatient Initiatives, Tasha Clements, is actively partnering with school teams across rural regions to ensure students are connected to timely, high‑quality outpatient services without long waits or unnecessary barriers. We’re honored to be a trusted resource for educators, families and communities—and we’re committed to continuing this work statewide.

If you’re a school leader or counselor seeking more information about our virtual adolescent services or rural outreach efforts, we’d love to connect.

Fairfax is proud to recognize Dr. Syed Kamal Mustafa, Psychiatrist, for his more than 25 years of dedicated service. As the brother of last month’s spotlighted physician, Dr. Jamal Mustafa, Dr. Kamal Mustafa has made significant contributions to our organization and community. Recently honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, Dr. Kamal Mustafa exemplifies a commitment to patient care and serves as an inspiring role model for future generations—including his own son, who has also contributed to Fairfax.

We extend our sincere gratitude for his passion, dedication and exemplary leadership to our patients, families and staff.

We honor the pioneers who paved the way for equitable mental healthcare. We recognize leaders like Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark, whose groundbreaking research on racial identity reshaped psychology, and Bebe Moore Campbell, who championed mental health awareness in communities of color. Their legacy reminds us that healing is a right, not a privilege.

We are committed to breaking stigmas and providing culturally responsive care every day.

We love receiving positive feedback—especially when it comes from partners who are dedicated to supporting youth in their communities. 💙

Recently, a school counselor from Burlington-Edison High School shared this thoughtful reflection after referring a student to our Virtual Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This is exactly why our Director of Rural Outpatient Initiatives, Tasha Clements, is working closely with schools across rural communities—to build strong, collaborative relationships and ensure that students, families and school professionals feel supported every step of the way.

Access to high‑quality outpatient behavioral health services shouldn’t depend on geography. Our virtual programming allows us to meet students where they are, eliminate barriers to care and ensuring school partners receive the communication and partnership they deserve.

We’re grateful for the trust school teams place in us, and we’re excited to continue expanding our reach to serve more rural youth across Washington.

If your school or district would like to learn more about our adolescent IOP or rural outreach efforts, we’d love to connect. Reach out to us today!

Inland Northwest Behavioral Health and Fairfax Behavioral Health are proud to announce a new partnership with the Granite Falls School District to expand access to mental health services for youth in the community.

Through this collaboration, we are now offering virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) services directly to students in Granite Falls—helping ensure that youth in crisis can receive timely, high‑quality support without the need to travel long distances or face connectivity barriers common in rural areas.

Yesterday, we hosted an open house at Granite Falls High School, where our team had the opportunity to connect with school staff, share information about our programming and discuss how we can better support students' mental health needs.

This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to increasing access to care across rural communities and ensuring that youth and families receive the support they need, when they need it.
