Mark your calendars for a community-driven event aimed at fostering connections and support for individuals navigating the path of recovery. The County of Kaua‘i is teaming up with Child & Family Service and a host of local organizations to bring the public the "Recovery Through Connections and Community" fair. Set to unfold on September 12 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., the gathering will take place at the Historic County Building Lawn.
The objective here is clear: to forge vital links between those in need and the services that can help. "Recovery isn't something anyone has to go through alone. It’s about community, connection, and knowing that help is out there," Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami stated, emphasizing the collective nature of overcoming challenges, and sharing that Kaua‘i is a place where its residents look out for each other, the event is more than just a fair; it’s a beacon of hope and unity so come one, come all, to explore and connect, it's a chance for us all to show solidarity.
Those who stop by can expect to encounter a wide spectrum of resources and activities. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with local organizations that provide treatment, support, and recovery services. The event also aims to educate the public on how to access help for themselves or their loved ones and promises an array of free, family-friendly activities. From rock painting to gratitude journaling, the schedule is packed with meaningful bonding experiences designed to cater to all ages. Plus, there will be a chance to explore fire trucks and emergency vehicles on display.
