DHSS opens new Pua Center in Nu’uuli
The Department of Human and Social Services has opened the doors of its new Pua Center in Nu’uuli. The Pua center is for clients enrolled in the Day Treatment Program which was transferred to DHSS after it was sub-granted to the LBJ for two decades.
The transfer was made following a mutual agreement between the two agencies.
The program is funded by a Mental Health Block Grant and offers a wide range of services that cater to the needs of individuals who suffer from mental illnesses.
The launching of the Pua Clinic was a community awareness event for clients of the program, including their family members. The new clinic is housed at the old DHSS child care facility in Nu’uuli.
The program works in collaboration with other agencies to connect clients and refer them to other services that will ultimately help them become independent individuals.
