The Kona Paradise Club is an essential resource for psychosocial support in West Hawaiʻi. The closure has impacted the mental health and/or wellbeing of myself, someone I care about, and/or my consumers. I, the undersigned, kindly request that the Department of Health - Adult Mental Health Division take immediate action to reopen The Kona Paradise Club.

Aloha, I am a family member of a loved one living with mental health conditions. The Kona Paradise Club is a vital resource for many who benefit from its services. Its closure is a huge negative impact for many individuals who rely on it and must struggle now and each day to come without it operating. Please come to the table to work out its reopening soon. Sincerely, Marsha Hee - long time resident of Hawaii Island.
Though my son has not yet been to the Clubhouse, he qualifies. The streets are where he went when unmedicated to find companionship. There he met predatory "friends" who took over his rented apartment and introduced him to dangerous drugs. Having options for socializing is not just for fun; for many with s.m.i., it is a survival tool. Please reinstate the Kona Paradise Clubhouse.
I like going to it
The Club House has been unavailable for far too long! This is a great disservice to our already very underserved population! Please expedite opening to remedy this situation!
Please help us fight to re-open
Reopen the Club House, mental health services are incomplete without it and puts those with mental illness at risk and further away from recovery.
The Kona Paradise Club fills a critical need to support metal health, emotional well-being and neurodivergent population in our community, please bring it back!

As a locum tenens psychiatrist who has worked with many clients of The Kona Paradise Club, I can attest to the fact that it provides a safe, friendly, structured environment and a community of support to people who would otherwise would be quite isolated. It serves a great need in the community and I strongly advocate for its reopening.
