A study for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander youth and families improving mental health care
Researchers are working to make mental health treatment feel more personal and culturally meaningful for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) families. This study invites NHPI teens who have been to therapy, and parents or guardians of NHPI children who have been to therapy, to share their thoughts and experiences. Your voice could help shape how care is delivered to NHPI youth in the future. There is no treatment involved — just honest conversation in a small group setting online.
