Staff from Maui Behavioral Health Resources participated in a Summer ʻOhana Fun event on Friday, June 13 to bring fun, healing and mental health awareness to the communities of Ka Laʻi Ola and Kilohana in Lahaina.

As many wildfire survivors struggle with adapting to the changes in their lives, Maui Behavioral Health Resources is hosting free supportive groups and activities for women, families and individuals in West Maui.

The program helps youth who are not able to receive care in their own home but can achieve stability and growth in a caring atmosphere where they can receive parental supervision, guidance and support.

The Pūlama nā ‘Ohana team from Maui Behavioral Health Resources has been working in the community for the past several months to provide assistance to those effected by the Maui wildfires.

Mālama Family Recovery Center was awarded $30,000 from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation as part of its CHANGE Grants program.

Maui Behavioral Health Resources, Maui’s largest nonprofit provider of substance use and mental health treatment services, announces several new staffing positions and organizational changes. Organization leaders say the changes were implemented to “meet the rising need of substance abuse treatment and mental health services due to the pandemic.”

Maui Behavioral Health Resources installed Lauri Calkins, Ph.D. to its board of directors on July 1, 2021 after an installation ceremony conducted by Judge Peter Cahill at its administrative offices in Makawao.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound impacts on the mental health of people of all ages. Now more than ever it is critical to reduce the stigma around mental health struggles that may prevent individuals from seeking help. In November 2020, the Center for Disease Control reported that 44% of Americans were dealing with either depression or anxiety and recent polls also show that many are turning to substance use to cope during these stressful times.
