We're All About FAMILY. Founded in Hawai’i in 1899, Child & Family Service (CFS) helps Hawai‘i families to address serious life issues, with life-changing results. As one of our state’s largest human services organizations, CFS offers a wide array of nearly 50 programs that serve all ages, from keiki to kūpuna. Child & Family Service meets families where their needs are, in their neighborhoods, in their homes, with their friends and family. We help families get the right start for a healthy, thriving future. Our programs strengthen families through parenting and child development counseling, prevention and intervention of abuse and neglect, healing from trauma, empowering teens and honoring kūpuna.
