Family Hui Hawaii presents Changing the Tune: Conversations Matter.  Join us for a musical Parent Cafe where we come together to make music and explore how open conversations can help shift the way families talk about mental health.  Just like music can change the mood of a room, the words we use and the conversations we have can change the way we understand feelings, stress, and asking for support.

This program is for families with keiki birth to 5 years old.

Space is limited, register here.
