Bethel, AK

Bethel, Alaska, a vibrant city steeped in Yup'ik culture, stands as a critical hub for over 50 surrounding villages.

Facing higher-than-average rates of suicide and substance abuse, Bethel's community confronts substantial mental health challenges. The scarcity of modern amenities, coupled with systemic barriers to healthcare access, exacerbates these issues.
