HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i State Council on Mental Health has launched a new website featuring many key resources including mental health related trainings and events in the community, legislative updates, and the current activities of the council. With this new, easy-to-use website, community members can access meeting notices and agendas, apply to serve on the board, learn about board members, and keep up-to-date on important mental health news statewide.

“We are excited to offer this new resource to the public with the goal of keeping the community informed on mental health issues in Hawaii as well as council initiatives and actions,” said Dr. Marie Vorsino, Chair of the State Council on Mental Health. “We encourage community involvement and hope the public will learn more about mental health through our website.”
