​​7th Avenue Emergency Stabilization and Assessment

7th Avenue Emergency Stabilization and Assessment Center serves youth in the custody of the state of Alaska, as well as youth in custody of their families. Youth can also bring themselves to Seventh Avenue if they need a safe place to stay. Youth come here for many different reasons and because of this the staff strives to work with each person and their family individually. Some youth may stay for several weeks and others for only a few hours or days.

The program is welcoming and supportive of all youth, no matter why they are here. Families may also need a time-out and this is a common reason for a placement. The program has full time clinical staff that provides assessment and group therapy as well as individual therapy. The staff works closely with families. Mediation services are provided as well as treatment team meetings. The shelter also regularly provides services to youth waiting placement in other PHH programs, as an assessment, safety and stabilization for youth between placements.

7th Avenue is a coed Level II, Emergency Shelter program, providing Behavioral Rehabilitation Services to three (3) youth ages 12-18 with a staff to client ration of 1:5. Two community beds are currently unfunded.
