Nearly three years after the Maui wildfires, health groups are still building out mental health and prevention services — good news for families and students on the island.

• Nearly 20 providers and programs now serve Maui's wildfire recovery needs, coordinated through Papa Ola Lōkahi.
• Mālama I Ke Ola Health Center is using the Maui Surge grant to widen mental health and substance abuse prevention work.
• The money funds school health centers at Maui High School, Kīhei Elementary and 'Īao Intermediate.
• Students get quiet rooms to calm down, a second-chance breakfast, and classes on handling emotions and relationships.
• The aim is early support and trusted adults before problems turn into a crisis, not therapy in the classroom.

Outlook: The school programs are set to keep running, with consistency treated as the key to reaching students.
