Alaska Responders Relief Line – (844) 985-8275
Recognizing
the unique stressors that providers face, the Division of Behavioral
Health has established a 24/7 support line, (844) 985-8275, for
healthcare and behavioral professionals impacted by COVID personally and
professionally. Staff supporting the call line recognize callers are
often first responders and will allow callers to openly express their
experiences and feelings serving Alaskans impacted by COVID.
This
service is also available to immediate family members of first
responders who may be experiencing stress, anxiety and other hard to
label emotions as a result of their loved one engaging on the front
lines.

The physicians staffing this service work closely with Alaska's Dept of Health and Social Services and Dr. Anne Zink, Alaska's Chief Medical Officer, to provide guidance and advice to those of you who are doing so much for your patients and the State of Alaska. The line is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week but we ask you try and restrict calls to between 8 AM and 8 PM except for urgent and emergent questions which will be answered 24/7.
