Hoʻohanu Maui First Responders Wellness Series
Hoʻohanu, with the support of Hawaiʻi Community Foundation, is honored to offer a series of wellness experiences exclusively for Maui First Responders.
These experiences have been thoughtfully designed to provide opportunities to step away from the demands of the job and reconnect with yourself, your fellow first responders, your loved ones, and the healing power of ʻāina.
Each event combines evidence-informed wellness practices with Hawaiian cultural knowledge and place-based experiences to support stress reduction, nervous system regulation, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
You are welcome to register for one event or as many as you'd like. Each experience offers something unique while complementing the others.
