Background
Parents and caregivers often don’t know where to start when their child is experiencing major emotional or behavioral difficulties. The Help Your Keiki website was developed by the State of Hawaii’s Evidence-Based Services (EBS) Committee to provide parents and caregivers with trustworthy, data-backed information they can use to address every stage of their child’s mental health journey.
Evidence-Based Services (EBS) Committee
The Evidence-Based Services Committee works to promote best practices to serve children with mental health needs. Their work includes providing reports, recommendations, trainings and studies to alert mental health professionals, administrators and parents on how to best address behavioral health concerns. Please follow us on Instagram for more information about the EBS Committee’s mission and monthly meetings.
Hawaii State Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD)
The Child & Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD) is the state’s public mental health system for children and adolescents, providing free services for eligible youth with severe emotional and/or behavioral challenges. Services include assessment, case management, and an array of therapeutic supports provided in the home and community, or temporary out-of-home placements.
