CSW creates task group to organize trauma-informed care training and approves Lana'i and Moloka'i outreach
Summary
The Committee voted to create a temporary implementation group (TIG) to plan a trauma-informed care training on Maui and authorized Vice-Chair Sonya Niess to hold a roundtable on Lana'i with up to $200 for refreshments; members also discussed Moloka'i outreach and a future mini-conference.
The Committee on the Status of Women approved two formal actions to advance trauma-informed outreach in the county. Members voted to create a temporary implementation group (TIG) composed of Vice-Chair Sonya Niess, Member Whitney Herrelson, and Member Heidi-Ann Allencastre to organize a trauma-informed care training or conference on Maui; the motion was made by Whitney Herrelson and seconded by Heidi-Ann Allencastre and recorded as passed. The Committee also authorized Vice-Chair Sonya Niess to conduct a roundtable on Lana'i and approved spending up to $200 for refreshments; that motion was made by Alayna Davies-Smith and seconded by Heidi-Ann Allencastre and also passed.
Members discussed planning a Moloka'i roundtable and a mini-Health Conference for the next fiscal year (when funding is budgeted) and suggested developing guiding questions for community meetings. The Committee framed these actions as outreach and capacity-building rather than enactment of new county policy; next steps include scheduling, fundraising details and coordination with local organizers on Lana'i and Moloka'i.
