Ohana Preservation Foundation offers thoughtfully planned mental wellness programs utilizing equine, art and horticulture therapeutic modalities for:
- youth navigating difficult life circumstances and mental health challenges
- families with children admitted to hospice or have a significant illness
- families grieving the loss of a loved one
- caregivers struggling with compassion fatigue.
In Hawaiian culture, “ohana” translates to family. The “ohana” concept carries with it a certain obligation to take care of those in your community as they take care of you.
Ohana Preservation Foundation would not exist without it's amazing Ohana of Volunteers, Animal Partners, Employees, Board of Directors, and Program Partners, which include Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Art Therapists, Equine Specialists in Mental Health and Learning and Licensed Professional Counselors.
We have a small number of employees, who wear multiple hats and over 350 volunteers.
