About COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT RESOURCES

Community Empowerment Resources (CER) is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides community-based behavioral health and recovery services across Oʻahu. The agency operates programs including case management, crisis stabilization (a 24/7 facility in Kāneʻohe), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), psychiatric care, primary care linkages, and child & adolescent services. CER has operated as a state-contracted behavioral health provider since the late 2000s and maintains publicly filed Form 990s and other state contract relationships. In recent years CER has continued to deliver crisis stabilization and recovery-oriented services, expanded telehealth access for outpatient treatment, and participated in pandemic-response care coordination contracts with state partners.
