Stand with Maui
In the wake of Lāhainā's recent devastation, Governor Green's acknowledgement of this as the worst natural disaster in Hawaiʻi’s history strikes a chord with us all. As the first state Capitol and a place immersed in history of chiefs, Kings, and Queens,Lāhainā's significance is profound. The memories of Mokuʻula, Mokuhinia, and Kihawahine, and the time when boats could navigate freely around Waiola Church, remind us of its rich heritage.
The loss felt by Lāhainā resonates deeply, not just in the physical sense, but in the emotional ties to the land. Let's stand together, offering help and solidarity to heal and rebuild this cherished piece of Hawaiʻi's history.
Your help is vital:
Rebuild Lives
Provide Essentials
Restore Beauty
Resources and Support for Residents of Maui

The Hawaiʻi Summit
is a multidisciplinary gathering of professionals working together to tackle the major issues in fields dealing with violence, abuse, and trauma. International and local speakers come together to share their findings on causation, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation at both the global level and at smaller, community-based levels.
Summit attendees will have the opportunity to gain continuing education credits and meet professional licensure requirements. The Summit is also a great opportunity to network not only within your field, but also with professionals in other fields that may provide valuable insight into how theory and research is applied across disciplines.

Opening Plenary & Ceremonies
Monday April 8th, 10:30AM - 12:30PM
“Racial Trauma and Radical Healing”
-
Trauma disproportionately impacts communities of color and other marginalized populations. For many, experiences of trauma are further compounded by historical trauma or the cumulative psychological wounding that is transmitted across generations within a community. This type of trauma is often associated with racial and ethnic groups in the US who have suffered major inter-generational losses and assaults on their culture and well-being. Structural racism, discrimination, and systemic disadvantage place these communities at increased risk for several disparities including limited access to health and mental health services. This opening plenary will address the dynamic interplay between trauma and racism, and its pernicious effects on mental health. Relevant concepts and frameworks for understanding mental health consequences and implementing strategies for dismantling racism/mitigating disparities will be discussed. This session wil conclude with recommendations for service system intervention and transformation that promote radical healing.
