Okay, let's go straight to our first item members, WhatsApp 1 parent 19.

Members, our first item is mental health crisis intervention and support for youth in Maui County.

Members, last month was Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of mental wellness, reduce stigma, and connect people with support.

However, our discussions within this committee have made it clear that mental health is an issue we must prioritize year-round.

In our committee meeting on the Maui Wildfire Exposure Study on July 21st, 2025.

We heard how youth in particular are in urgent need of greater mental health support.

Today we've invited representatives from Youth Line Hawaii to join us and share how they're supporting youth across the county and across the state.

They plan to present on uh their particular services that they provide.

Excuse me, including their peer-to-peer uh mental health support and crisis line.

Um I'd like to turn the floor over to Miss Bergen for her presentation.

Thanks for being here.

Thank you, Chair Senisi.

Very much appreciative of having us here today.

Again, my name is Danielle Bergen, and I am a mental health trainer and community affairs coordinator for Youth Line Hawaii.

Uh we're going to show you a little presentation here.

We'll advance some slides as we go through and talk about it.

And then at the end, we'll be able to open this up to questions for anyone who might have any.

So you see our first slide here is uh we're a service of lines for life, which is the 988 out of Oregon.

Youthline is uh been around for 26 years, and you can see the logos that we have from our different um contact centers.

Uh very excited to be able to tell you the work that we've been doing in the last year and a half at Youth Line.

Next slide, please.

So we wanted to make sure when uh youth line came over from Portland at a time shortly, maybe a year, year and a half after the fires.
