The Board of Directors of ACS maintains a fund called the Partnership in Treatment Program. The goal of the program is to provide children and families in need of treatment with a financial alternative when insurance is unable or not available to defray the high cost of care.

In the absence of adequate resources, any parent or legal guardian whose child has been accepted for admission to Alaska Children's Services residential or community programs, may apply for financial assistance by completing the Partnership in Treatment application.

A review committee considers applications in the light of Partnership funds available, family commitment to participation in treatment, financial need, length of stay, and other extenuating circumstances that the committee deems relevant. The committee makes every good faith effort to evaluate each application in a fair and impartial manner.

All proceeds from ACS's annual Alaska Flag Day celebration are used in support of the Partnership in Treatment Program. Since its inception in 1994, the Partnership in Treatment Program has provided support to 19 children and their families.

If you would like to be considered for Partnership funding for treatment for your child, please contact your child's Case Manager or Clinical Therapist.
