A Mental Health Program for the Elderly: Maui Geriatric Mental Health Hui
The Maui Geriatric Mental Health Hui, a stakeholder group of concerned Maui residents, created this video as a first step in raising community awareness about the presence of mental health issues among older adults. The hope is that the video will encourage those who have been reluctant to seek help — perhaps due to shame, fear, or lack of information — to access available services.
Financial and staff support for this program was provided by the Maui County Office on Aging, the Adult Mental Health Division of the Hawai‘i State Department of Health, and the University of Hawai‘i through Grant No. 1 H79 SM56943-01 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The video's contents are solely the responsibility of the producer and do not necessarily represent the official views of SAMHSA.
