About Us

​RYC is an accredited behavioral health provider offering short and long-term community-based residential, out-patient clinical, and therapeutic rehabilitation services to Alaskan youth who may be experiencing mental and/or behavioral challenges. We work with local and state organizations to provide a variety of services including, but not limited to, foster care services, afterschool programs, early prevention services, and community campaigns. Residential Youth Care is located in Ketchikan on a beautiful remote island of Southeast Alaska. RYC's treatment programs are centralized in advocating for our youth, fostering safety, and improving the well-being of children and their families at risk. Our goal is to help guide our clients into leading productive and healthy lives. We have multiple facilities throughout Ketchikan to provide the utmost care for all of our clients and staff and offer a space for afterschool programs, a private gym facility, client services, prevention programs, and more.
