Program Services

Mental Health Kokua is proud that since 1997, programs and services have been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (Carf - http://www.carf.org/). Carf is an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to ensure that services meet consumer expectations of quality and outcomes.

CARF reviews and grants accreditation services nationally and internationally on request of a facility or program. Our standards are rigorous, so those services that meet them are among the best available - Carf
