It's hard being an adolescent and teen today. There are greater risks from drugs, violence and diseases, and when emotional problems overwhelm kids, many find it hard to find the help they need, especially if they're Alaska Natives. With a new grant and help from the University of Alaska, a Fairbanks group is forging a new program to help.

  • Tisha Simmons, Director, Ch'eghutsen'.
  • Mark Snipes, Inside Project Evaluator, Ch'eghutsen'.

  • George Happ, Director, EPSCoR, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
  • Brian Saylor, Associate Vice Provost, Health Affairs & Research, University of Alaska Anchorage.
