Purpose:

Develop and coordinate culturally grounded, healing-centered wellness supports that strengthen the readiness, resilience, and well-being of ʻōpio. Build accessible wellness resources, learning opportunities, partnerships, and referral pathways while collaborating with the Kīʻapu land-preparation team, Navigators, and other youth programs across ʻUpena Pili.

Wellness Support Development and Coordination

• Develop and coordinate a holistic wellness approach aligned with the ʻUpena Pili North Star, ancestral way finding model, grant requirements, and organizational priorities;
• Organize wellness resources and supports that address emotional, mental, physical, relational, and behavioral well-being and other factors that affect the ability of ʻōpio to participate and progress;
• Build and maintain relationships with behavioral health providers, health and wellness organizations, substance-use prevention and recovery resources, family-support agencies, and other community partners;
• Develop clear resource, referral, eligibility, consent, information-sharing, and follow-up processes that help staff connect ʻōpio to appropriate supports;
• Identify program-level gaps and barriers to wellness services and recommend practical strategies to improve access, responsiveness, and continuity of support.

Wellness Learning and Experiences

• Plan and facilitate workshops, seminars, groups, and experiences that build practical wellness knowledge and skills, including self-awareness, stress management, emotional regulation, healthy relationships, help-seeking, self-advocacy, and healthy decision-making;
• Use culturally grounded, trauma-informed, healing-centered, strengths-based, and developmentally appropriate approaches that honor the identity, voice, pace, and lived experiences of ʻōpio;
• Create welcoming learning environments where ʻōpio can participate safely, build connection, practice skills, and reflect on how wellness supports their goals and individualized journeys;
• Coordinate qualified providers, guest facilitators, community resources, schedules, materials, safety considerations, and follow-up for assigned wellness offerings;
• Develop practical wellness resources and tools that Navigators and other staff can appropriately reinforce with ʻōpio.

Land Preparation and Cross-Program Collaboration

• Work closely with Navigators to understand wellness-related needs and connect ʻōpio with relevant resources and opportunities without replacing the Navigator's primary mentoring relationship;
• Support warm handoffs and coordinated follow-up when specialized wellness services are needed while maintaining appropriate role boundaries and confidentiality;
• Collaborate with Kīʻapu staff responsible for pathways, cultural learning, data, and events so offerings are accessible, coordinated, and responsive to the whole person;
• Coordinate with other youth programs under ʻUpena Pili to share wellness resources, strengthen referral networks, reduce duplication, and expand access to appropriate supports;
• Participate in Kīʻapu and cross-program planning, youth conferencing, and coordinated problem-solving when wellness expertise or resource coordination is needed.

Safety, Ethics, and Scope of Practice

• Recognize and respond appropriately to concerns involving safety, abuse, neglect, self-harm, substance use, or other urgent needs by following PIDF policies, mandated-reporting requirements, and established response protocols;
• Maintain professional boundaries…
