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.
