AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Department of Health's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division to study the possibility of opening a new Community Mental Health Center office, also called a Family Guidance Center office, in the Kau district of Hawaii County. This is because the existing offices in Waimea, Kona, and Hilo are not adequately serving children and youth in the southern part of the island, who currently face long travel distances for essential mental health services, especially since the Kona office has been temporarily closed. The resolution also requires the Division to report its findings and any recommendations, including potential new laws, to the Legislature by early 2023.
