Other staff specialize in bridging relational gaps between parents and children. They help kids and their parents communicate clearly with each other about their needs, expectations, and experiences.
One staff member has done a lot of research with the Department of Psychiatry at the UH Mānoa. They helped them develop prevention programs for substance use that are based on Hawaiian cultural practices. This type of culturally-informed care is a foundation of all the staff at Action with Aloha, so that you’re always being treated with your culture in mind.
