Our council exists to serve as a voice for Hawaii’s citizens. Through our monthly meetings, we invite all members of the community – from family members, to government officials, or experts in their fields, to come and share insights and concerns about the issues most affecting our island communities.
Our advocacy efforts often take many forms – we write letters, support bills in the legislature, or simply help connect you to where you need to go given the complexities and wide range of government services.
Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring to your own life.
Join us to serve as a voice for all who have been diagnosed with mental illness throughout our island community.
