Evidence-Based Services Committee

The Help Your Keiki webpage is a website for parents, by parents in collaboration with the State of Hawaii’s Evidence Based Services (EBS) Committee. Since 1999, the EBS Committee has been promoting best practices to serve children and adolescents with mental health needs. With that goal in mind, the EBS committee developed the Help Your Keiki website. Parents can use this website at every stage of addressing their child’s difficulties. For example, parents can use the information on this website to help them understand if their child may have characteristics of a mental health disorder. If parents do have a child with mental health needs, they can use this site to learn about what they can do to get their child the best help available. If parents have already started working with a therapist, they can use this site to guide the questions that they ask their therapist. Finally, if parents would like more information about additional resources they can utilize, we are consistently updating information on our Help Your Keiki resources page.
