Family Application for Child & Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD) Services via the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health: To start services with CAMHD, you will first need to sign this consent form. This form allows your child to receive a mental health evaluation to determine if they have a diagnosis. Based on the information from this assessment, your child may fit the criteria of the youth served at CAMHD, which would then qualify them to receive treatment.
