Our Story

Mission

Family Hui Hawaii empowers families to meet the challenges of raising keiki by providing a safe, nurturing environment to connect, learn, and thrive. Through supportive peer-to-peer groups, we strengthen families, build protective factors that help prevent child abuse and neglect, increase parent-child attachment, and promote healthy child development.

Established in 2013, Family Hui Hawaii continues the 38-year legacy of The Baby Hui, supporting families across Hawai‘i through accessible, community-rooted parent support programs.

“Hui saved my life. As a new parent struggling with overwhelm, I didn’t know where to turn. The Hui gave me connection, compassion, and confidence. I found people who understood me, supported me, and helped me become the parent I want to be.”

— Hui Parent

Parents consistently describe their experience as relatable, connected, and empowering—a space where they can reflect on how they parent, strengthen their relationships with their keiki, and build a genuine network of support.

  • More than a decade of Family Hui Hawaii serving communities statewide.
  • Peer-to-peer support is an evidence-based approach proven to boost parental resilience, engagement, satisfaction, and overall wellbeing.
  • Parents in peer programs show higher trust and participation than in conventional parenting classes, including among families facing challenging circumstances.
  • Family Hui Hawaii partners with community organizations, including those supporting families in recovery and those involved in the Child Welfare System to ensure access for those who need it most.
