A visit with Chip Ellis We recently introduced you to ACMHS client Chip Ellis and his clinician Stephen Washington. This month, Chip shares more about his mental health journey in this short video.

FCMHS Gears up for Mental Health Awareness Month FCMHS staff have lots planned to mark Mental Health Awareness Month in May. They start early on April 27, when they participate in the Out of Darkness walk to fight suicide. They'll also celebrate clients with a lunchtime BBQ in mid-May - and pass out green awareness bracelets to clients.

Walk and Roll for Hope We're proud to be a part of Hope Community Resources 50th Anniversary Walk & Roll for Hope. Please come see us at the Delaney Park Strip in Anchorage on May 4. We'll be there from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm - spreading the message that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Hoping for sunshine, but a little snow won't stop us! Support Hope by signing up for the walk here !
