Who We Are:

Our VISION:  Inspiring hope to facilitate change

​

Our MISSION:  We believe in a person’s ability to change and create happiness for themselves while living a nonviolent life.  We promote growth, healing, hope, and healthy beliefs to ensure safe, compassionate, and loving individuals and families. 

​

Our VALUES:  We follow the 2023 Hawai`i Domestic Violence Intervention Program Standards:

​

​

• Aloha Spirit - Recognizing Aloha as the key (Pilahi Paki) to providing services and promoting it within the family with deep respect and gratitude to the Native Hawaiian culture for this value and all it encompasses

• Supporting and Centering Safety of Family Members - Creating safe trauma-informed spaces for people experiencing violence to share information or feedback to increase safety within the family

• Kuleana - Promoting accountability from our clients for behavior change and from our staff and community for effective quality wraparound services

• Flexible Services - Using a risk-needs-responsivity model of services to provide client-centered evidence-based services rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach

• Compassion, Competence, and Authenticity - Providing competent services with the belief that people can change and building hope to help clients achieve change through real engagement with clients

• Social Justice - Addressing barriers to services and special challenges for all populations in our policies and procedures, our interactions and services with clients, and our community education and advocacy

•  Community Engagement and Education - Providing community training on domestic violence (see our training section) and collaborating with community partners to address the complex challenges of domestic violence
