May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Revenue generated from Trust lands supports the Trust's annual grantmaking program, helping to fund behavioral health services for Trust beneficiaries across Alaska.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, and like physical health conditions, mental health conditions can be addressed through diagnosis, treatment, and other supports.

The Trust Land Office’s Competitive Leasing Program offers the opportunity to lease large, scenic tracts of Trust land that have not previously been offered for sale or lease. From the Chena Hot Springs area to Safety Cove near Ketchikan, these choice parcels are selected due to their potential for commercial or recreational land use.

By leasing these Trust lands, we generate vital revenue that supports programs for Trust beneficiaries across Alaska, including those experiencing mental illness, developmental disabilities, and traumatic brain injuries.
