​Children's Mental Health Awareness Week ~ May 2 - 8, 2021
Each year, Hawaii Families As Allies celebrates the National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day as we always have for the past 20+ years. HFAA has brought awareness to our communities by planning and participating in different community events throughout the state. Here are some key messages about Children's Mental Health Awareness: ​​​
  • 1 in 5 Children suffer from a mental health challenge
  • Of those Children, less than 20% get the support/services they need
  • Children, youth and their families are faced with stigma
  • Available resources can be limited depending upon where you live
  • Access to services remains a constant challenge in finding help


​
HFAA is here to help support families along their journey. Contact us today at (808) 682-1511 or email us at events@hfaa.net to find out more!
