Accept. Advocate. Act! Because awareness is not enough! As a founding member and statewide Chapter of the National Federation of Families we honor this message to ensure visibility, understanding and action as we continue to support children’s mental health awareness. As the original organization providing authentic peer support in Hawaii, this hits home for many families. Elevating our voices to enact true change for those whose have children, youth and young adults with challenges remains among our top priorities! 💚

Aloha Families - you may have seen the news about a youth with special needs who was photographed while using the restroom at school and posted online. As parents of children, youth and young adults with challenges - we need our community to unify and come together in a collaborative way so our voices are heard. LDAH will be hosting a parent forum next weekend - we hope to see you there!
