Prince of Wales Behavioral Health System
Agnew::Beck staff will present the major findings of the needs assessment and define next steps for the project to interested community members.

Participants from the May 3 meeting will be invited to participate in taking the results of the needs assessment and working together to prioritize actions that can be taken on the local level to address island-wide needs related to behavioral health prevention and early intervention.

For individuals interested in attending the May 3rd meeting, needing copies of the needs assessment or for more information:

When primary provider of behavioral health services on Prince of Wales Island closed its doors in January 2009, the members of the POW Health Network saw it as part of their mission to collaboratively facilitate planning for an improved and sustainable behavioral health delivery system, with a focus on prevention and early intervention, in conjunction with health care services already offered. This process is funded by a grant from the State of Alaska, Division of Prevention and Early Intervention.

The POW Health Network has contracted with Agnew::Beck to carry out a needs assessment, capacity building, and strategic planning process that will enhance the behavioral health system serving the island. A Project Team and Stakeholder Work Group will be created to help guide the process, provide input as project milestones are achieved and facilitate implementation of an action plan.
