Show Notes

Hawaii's new Office of Wellness and Resilience is the first of its kind in the nation, tasked with the important work of helping residents work through personal trauma and other mental health issues through an intentional, trauma-informed lens. Join us as host Katie Kaahanui speaks with Tia Roberts-Hartsock, Director for the Office of Wellness and Resilience to learn more about what trauma-informed framework looks like, and how the state is beginning to pave the way in showing that addressing society's issues at its root can have positive, long-lasting results when it comes to preventing future instances of crime, substance abuse, and homelessness. 

During a time of post-pandemic community rebuilding, creating a space for collective healing and support is more critical than ever before. Tune in to hear more about how Hawaii is taking a national lead in making that a reality for residents.
