Ulupono Family Strengthening Program Works To Increase The Internal Resources Of Families To Handle Challenges They Face With Their Children
Family Support Specialists on Oahu and Maui work with parents/caregivers of children ages birth to 17 years old to provide:
• parenting education;
• promote child health, development, and safety
• offer emotional support
• link families to resources in their community.
Families are referred to the program by Child Welfare Services or by Voluntary Case Management programs.
Families receive short-term home visiting services. These services are voluntary. There is no charge for these services.
The purpose of the Ulupono program is to help families thrive by teaching parents how to provide a safe, healthy, nurturing environment for their children.
