The Benteh Wellness Center (BWC) was created in March 2021 by the Knik Tribe to support the mental health needs of every youth, young adult, and family in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. BWC offers caring, personalized services including therapy, case management, skill-building, and groups for young people between the ages of 6-22 and their families.    

 

Our Vision & Mission  

​

• Vision: To create communities free from the widespread effects of trauma, such as suicide, child abuse/neglect, and substance misuse. We strive to foster family strengths, establish robust community support systems, and provide compassionate, person-centered care that empowers individuals to discover their true social, personal, and community identity.  

• Mission: To cultivate resilience and empower young individuals by providing comprehensive behavioral health services. Our mission is to address the diverse needs of children, adolescents, and their families through assessments, therapy, case management, skill development, and youth-centered programs. Through collaboration and support, we strive to create lasting positive change in self and community.  ​​​
