Hale Na`au Pono, aka Wai`anae Coast Community Mental Health Inc., is a non-profit agency serving the seriously mentally ill (SMI) along the Wai`anae Coast.

The Agency was created by the people of Wai`anae more than two decades ago to meet the mental health needs of the community and beyond.

We offer an array of community-based services to meet the needs of adults including clinical and case management support, housing choices, a clubhouse in the heart of Wai`anae, anger management training, and an alcohol and other drug treatment program.

Our child and adolescent program provides psychiatric and psychological support along with its specialized foster homes programs and individual services for the developmentally disabled and intellectually disabled.

Our Wai`anae Neighborhood Place provides support to families-at-risk, providing guidance through difficult times when there is nowhere else to turn.

Thought-Field Therapy

Thought-Field Therapy (TFT) is a treatment designed for rapid resolution of symptoms or memories causing distress in a person’s life, often to an extent that the person is hampered from coping with the symptom or memory and fails in properly addressing certain tasks. TFT is a self-treatment that combines tapping of acupuncture treatment points with mental focusing on disturbing symptoms or memories.
