Maui Youth and Family Services

Maui Youth and Family Services has been empowering youth and families challenged with behavioral health issues to become responsible, self-fulfilled and contributing members of the community since 1978. Originally established by Maui County as the Maunaolu Youth Residential Shelter to provide a safe place for Maui’s homeless, abused and runaway children; we have since expanded and now include a range of behavioral and mental health programs to support young people and their families’ personal growth and emotional stability.

Whether young people have mental health needs and/or are experiencing difficulties socially, behaviorally and/or academically – we are here to help. Whenever possible and appropriate, we also work with young people’s relatives to create lasting and positive change for the entire family unit no matter if the person is homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, in foster care, have aged out of foster care, or are not able to receive care in their own home but are able to achieve stability and growth in a caring atmosphere where they can receive parental supervision, guidance and support.
