Celebrating Children's Mental Health Awareness Matters 2021!
In partnership with the Department of Health Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division and a coalition of community organizations, HFAA is a proud, longtime champion and one of the first organizations locally to promote the Children's Mental Health Awareness (CMHA) initiative in Hawaii. This year, there will be plenty of opportunities with media and safe (virtual/recorded) events planned with the goal of educating and raising awareness of what CMHA is all about. At its essence, CMHA strives to create an elevated view and perspective for our families who are raising children, youth and young adults with mental health challenges. As we raise awareness, we will continue to break down silos for our families to focus on intervention, treatment, healing and most of all hope.
