How We Can Help


We aim to address the social-emotional needs of children and strengthening families. 

Our Kamaliʻi and ʻOhana Services Team offers case management, counseling, social-emotional groups, and family strengthening opportunities. We address loss or grief due to death or absence of a loved one, trauma-related issues, emotional behavioral needs of a child, and family conflict.  

Our Youth Programs Team offers a variety of programs that elevate youth voice, agency and cultural identity. We offer exploratory and specialized programs, during out-of-school times, that help Native Hawaiian children learn and grow.
