Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division

Mental health services can be accessed by calling your nearest Department of Health (DOH) Family Guidance Center (FGC) which are located on every island.

Family Guidance Center staff will assist families with the process of determining whether their child is eligible for DOH services or whether their child can be better helped by other agencies.

Eligible young people will be registered at the Family Guidance Center, and a Mental Health Care Coordinator (MHCC) will be assigned to help with the process of obtaining needed services.

Parent Partners, of the Hawaii Families as Allies, are contacted through the DOH Family Guidance Centers. You may request the aid of a Parent Partner who will work with you and help guide you through the process of getting the help that you need.

Call the main number of your local Family Guidance Center, and ask to speak to the intake coordinator:
