Kane Connections provides 1:1 and group support for men in the Maui community.

As of July, the Lāhainā Hui Kāne (Men's Support Group) will be at the Lāhainā Comprehensive Health Center. All Kāne are welcome!

While we encourage the participation of fathers or male caregivers (grandpa, uncle etc..) all men are invited to participate in the Kane Connections Program. Kane Connections offers the following services:  1:1 support via in person visits at our office, at your home, or in the community.  

Kamalama, a 12 week parenting class for men and their partner/co-parent based on Hawaiian Values and rooted in the understanding that parents are their children's first teachers.

Trained MFSS Kane Connections facilitators provide 1:1 support using Nurturing Fathers Program (NFP) during home visits, and/or groups using 24/7 Dads. NFP is an evidence-based, 12-week course designed to teach parenting and nurturing skills to men. Each 2 ½ hour session provides effective skills for healthy family relationships and child development. 24/7 Dads is also evidence-based. It is the National Fatherhood Initiative’s flagship fatherhood curriculum and is taught 2 hours per week over a period of 12 weeks. Our facilitators also provide fathers with skills to increase their child’s literacy.
