United Self Help- Mental Health Support Groups

[Admin]

United Self Help does a lot for mental health and for the community in Hawaii. They do support groups, activities, and talks at schools in Hawaii. I was lucky to work with Bud to do a collaborative project on stigma and mental health as a grad student in 2013. It was great to see high school students respond to the talks on stigma and also participate in doing artwork (poems, drawing, and photography).

I think peer support is powerful. We are social beings and it's important to find a connection.
