Family Programs Hawaii
Strengthening children and families who are at risk or involved in the child welfare system.
MISSION
To strengthen children and families who are at risk or involved in the child welfare system through high quality prevention, support and transition services.
KEY SERVICES PROVIDED
Family Programs Hawai‘i is a unique social service agency and mental health provider remaining true to its origins of providing quality care to the children of Hawai‘i. Our goal is that every child in Hawai‘i has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential—especially children in foster care.
Prevention services help Hawai‘i’s children remain in healthy homes and include mental health services, a children’s shelter in West O‘ahu, and adoption services to provide forever homes to children. Our Family Strengthening Center promotes, supports and strengthens the well-being and behavioral health of adults, children and families.
Support services strengthen children and families involved in foster care. We bring together siblings separated by foster care, support groups and resources for caregivers (foster parents), provide culturally based services, advocacy with lawmakers to improve the foster care system, small enhancement grants for children in foster care, and support and training for at-risk youths and their families.
Transition services help Hawai‘i’s youth become successful members of our community through college and career guidance.
EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
