County to host community meeting on drug addiction
KAPA'A – The Mayor’s Advisory Committee for Treatment and Community Integration will
host “Drug Addiction 101,” a community meeting at Kapa'a Missionary Church on Tuesday, Oct.
17, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Gina Kaulukukui, program director for Life’s Bridges Hawai‘i, will present information about
services on how to deal with crisis situations and share updated information about suicide and
how it impacts the community.

others, while gaining valuable insight on the issue of substance abuse, its negative consequences
