MYFS will deliver vital counseling, and substance use treatment.
Maui Youth & Family Services (MYFS), in partnership with Maui United Way and Sentry’s Mālama Nā Keiki Initiative, is expanding critical mental health services for keiki impacted by the Lahaina wildfires.
Guided by the theme “lei po‘ina ‘ole ke keiki” — a lei never forgotten is the beloved child—the initiative supports both direct care and the development of a broader community network of healing.
Expert-Led Community Partnerships
Partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui, MEO’s Head Start, Big Brothers Big Sisters and YouthLine, MYFS will extend mental health support to more youth. The program also includes expert-led training to strengthen trauma-informed care and integrate cultural knowledge into clinical practices.
The Sentry Mālama Nā Keiki initiative first launched in November 2023, which at the start of the year reported reaching over 5,000 children and families across Maui.
