“The mental health journey begins with awareness, a community we’ve yet to make. Art is a form of beauty, an expression of life in its most original state.”- Natalie Hodge

The Youth Alliance for a Healthier Alaska is running a second year of the 988Create campaign after a very successful first year in 2023! We had 41 submissions last year and would like to double that this year.
Calling all young Alaskan artists 10-25 years old. Alaskan youth want to inform our state about 988 by spreading messages of Healing & Support. Enter by March 1, 2024 for a chance at one of ten $150 gift cards.

Please see the 988 Create Art Submission Guide for submission details!​
