“Who We Are
Maui Youth and Family Services has been empowering youth and families challenged with behavioral health issues to become responsible, self-fulfilled and contributing members of the community since 1978. Originally established by Maui County as the Maunaolu Youth Residential Shelter to provide a safe place for Maui’s homeless, abused and runaway children; we have since expanded and now include a range of behavioral and mental health programs to support young people and their families’ personal growth and emotional stability.
What We Do
Whether young people have mental health needs and/or are experiencing difficulties socially, behaviorally and/or academically – we are here to help. Whenever possible and appropriate, we also work with young people’s relatives to create lasting and positive change for the entire family unit no matter if the person is homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, in foster care, have aged out of foster care, or are not able to receive care in their own home but are able to achieve stability and growth in a caring atmosphere where they can receive parental supervision, guidance and support.”
~~“Hawaii’s DEI will focus its effort on the following strategies: •Increase American Job Center (AJC) staff competencies through training on Disability 101, Customized Employment, Career Pathway Systems, Job Accommodation, Asset Development, Individualized Learning Plans, and Disability Benefits Planning.”
Hawaii SB 793: Relating to the Minimum Wage (2021)
Enacted. Version date: 6/16/21
“SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the real problems of disability arise not from the medical conditions themselves, but rather from the low expectations, misinformation, and socially‑constructed systemic barriers associated with the conditions. Individuals with disabilities are subject to low expectations particularly in employment and the system preparing them for employment, such as education and rehabilitation programs.
Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (Section 14(c)) denies people the guarantee of a minimum wage for potentially any job and at any point in their career, based on their disability status…
The purpose of this Act is to repeal existing law that exempts individuals with disabilities from minimum wage requirements as a cost neutral initiative with great positive impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities.”
“BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 78, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
” § 78-__ Employment first; persons with disabilities. (a) Employment first shall be a policy of the State and the counties. Employment services are the first choice of services that are offered for persons with disabilities receiving assistance from publicly funded systems. State and county agencies shall ensure that employment first is effectively implemented in hiring practices and all programs and services administered or funded by the State and counties, including programs and services that help persons with disabilities obtain employment. All state and county agencies shall coordinate efforts and collaborate to ensure that programs, policies, procedures, and funding support competitive employment in an integrated setting for persons with disabilities. All state and county agencies, when feasible, may share data and information to track progress toward full implementation of this section.”
