News & Press Releases

Mental Health Kokua (MHK) embraces transparency and accountability. By “transparency” we mean openness, and communication. We define “accountability” as assuming our responsibility for policies, actions, and decisions, which includes our leadership and governance. We respect our obligation to report, explain and be answerable for consequences that result from our business operations.

Mental Health Kokua also maintains a code of ethics and business principles for public relations, which are found in part as follows:

• To portray people with mental illnesses as capable and competent.
• To refer to people with disabilities in “person first” language; i.e., people with a mental illness.
• To abide by Mental Health Kokua policies and community standards when relating public statements.
• To exercise special care when making recommendations or opinions public through testimony or other public statements, because as a health care organization Mental Health Kokua may influence and alter the lives of others.

As a community-based non-profit organization, we are stewards of public trust. If you have questions or comments about Mental Health Kokua, please contact Greg Payton, Executive Director/ CEO at 808-737-2523.
