Moving Forward in the Wisdom of Our Ancestors
The Ho’oikaika Annual Conference is one of the primary ways we build our capacity as health and human service providers. Our theme reflects our desire to return to our roots in our work with children and families.
From the beginning, Ho’oikaika Partnership’s mission has focused on educating providers and the wider community about protective factors as a fundamental strategy to prevent child maltreatment and strengthen families. We aim to deepen our understanding of protective factors and trauma-informed approaches, with a particular focus on integrating traditional Hawaiian knowledge and honoring the diverse cultures represented in Maui County.

Mana’o From Past Attendees
The overall conference was amazing. Every session that I attended was filled with take-aways and resources that I will utilize with my staff and program.
Overall, attending this conference has ignited more passion within me to rise up and step into my position on the canoe and paddle in unity with everyone else around me.
Today’s conference was extremely heartfelt and inspiring. I was blown away by moʻoleloʻs, cultural protocol, and cultural practices shared, the conference enlightened me and provided me with new tools for my cultural competence tool kit.
