Leeward Oahu Service area board on Mental Health and Substance Abuse

The Leeward O'ahu Service Area Board on Mental Health and Substance Abuse advises the Department of Health on behavioral health services for the Leeward O'ahu service area, which encompasses communities from Ewa Beach to Waianae. It reviews service gaps, provider performance, and resource allocation priorities for mental health and substance abuse programs in one of O'ahu's most underserved regions. The board advocates for equitable distribution of behavioral health resources to Leeward communities.

Leeward O'ahu residents dealing with mental health or substance abuse challenges, or supporting someone who is, can engage with this board to push for better local resources and hold the Department of Health accountable for service quality.
