Mental Health Snapshots

Together with the Children with Special Health Needs Branch, Hawai’i PMHCA hosted two Mental Health Snapshot events! With fellow state and community partners, these meetings were a chance to learn more about different programs that work in the youth mental health system and how that system looks like in Hawai’i.
