Mahalo nui loa to our volunteers who participated in our Celebrate Safe Labor Day sign waving earlier this month!

These dedicated coalition members and community members helped remind our community of the importance of preventing underage drinking.

Let’s continue to work together to keep our youth safe.

Remember: If they’re under 21, ‘a‘ole alcohol!

Quality early learning experiences help mitigate or eliminate adverse childhood experiences, strengthens family relationships, and prepares our youth for academic success, all of which are protective factors that prevent underage drinking.

🌺 CRISIS READY: A FREE Hawaiʻi Su***de Intervention Training Series

When a young person says:

“I want to die.”
What happens next?
That is what we are training for.
Not awareness. RESPONSE.

🚩 SEPT 11 | A: ACTIVATE
Once a youth is identified as high risk, what changes?

🤝 SEPT 18 | C + E: COORDINATE + ENGAGE
A referral is not a response. This is active integration. Engagement focused care coordination. What is collaborative care exactly?

Patient tracking. Psychiatric consultation. Teen mentorship. Wraparound services. School and 504 support. Basic needs. Appointment accompaniment. Family integration. Proactive outreach. Long term recovery engagement. We do not just give families another phone number.

WE STAY CONNECTED TO THE OUTCOME. Surviving the crisis is step one. RECOVERY IS THE OUTCOME.

🌺 FREE statewide

🌺 40 live provider spots

🌺 Attend one training or all

🌺 Replays available

🌺 Donations welcomed, never required

Then, on September 25:
🌺 MAHALO: REST + RESTORE

No training. Just a thank you to Hawaiʻi’s healers.

Connection. Restoration. Sound bath. Community. Pau hana.

Our kids should not have to get lucky and find one person who knows what to do. We need communities that know what to do.

🚨 BE CRISIS READY.

Built in Hawaiʻi. For Hawaiʻi.

Presented by Spill The Tea Café.

Mahalo nui loa to Rep. Kitagawa and Rep. Matayoshi for coordinating the annual Castle Complex School Supply Drive!

This year more than $7,000 in monetary donations and a good amount of school supplies was collected. The donated supplies will help over 500 youth have the tools that will help them have a successful school year.

We just completed another successful Castle Complex School Supply Drive! Thanks to the generosity of the community, we can provide over 500 students in the Castle Complex with school supplies again this year. We are grateful that students in need will be able to start the school year off with the necessary supplies to help them learn and grow. Thank you also to the 30+ volunteers who put in over 80 hours of service staffing our donation table at Windward Mall and sorting/packing school supplies. We really couldn’t have done this without all of you!

Rep. Matayoshi and I would also like to send a HUGE THANK YOU out to our community partners for helping us to put on this event for the sixth year in a row. Thank you to the Castle Alumni/Community Association, Anchor Church, Kiwanis Club of Kāneʻohe, Rotary Club of Kāneʻohe, Windward Mall, Kamehameha Schools, Community Works in 96744, Koʻolaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club, and Windward Community College.
