About KIDS HURT TOO HAWAII

Kids Hurt Too Hawaiʻi (tax-exempt since 2001) is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) that provides free peer support groups, mentoring, education and crisis intervention for children, youth (ages 3–19) and their caregivers affected by grief and trauma. Its program model combines Healing Young Hearts peer groups, ʻĀina-based mentoring, culturally informed training, and rapid crisis response rooted in Family Strengthening and Native Hawaiian values. In the last 2–3 years the organization expanded statewide services (offices on Oʻahu and program presence on Maui) and deployed a Mobile Grief & Trauma Unit to reach families in schools, temporary housing, and community sites. Kids Hurt Too reports running several hundred peer-group sessions each year, serving roughly 1,500–2,000 children and family members annually, and continuing community training and crisis interventions to support children after events such as the 2023 Maui wildfires.

Notable achievements

Sustained program reach and annual services

Operates Healing Young Hearts peer groups and ʻĀina-based mentoring at scale—approximately 300 peer-group sessions and about 160 mentoring/community activities annually—serving roughly 1,500–1,995 children and family members per year and providing immediate crisis response across the islands.

Large-scale training impact

Maintains an ongoing grief-and-trauma training program for volunteers, educators and providers; since 2006 the organization has trained thousands of community members (more than 12,000 by recent counts) and has a track record of crisis interventions and community partnerships.
