Child & Family Service
is ALL ABOUT FAMILY

Champions for Hawaii’s families for 124 years, Child & Family Service (CFS) is a “Hawai‘i-born” impact-driven, community-based organization.  Since 1899, we have worked tirelessly to strengthen families and foster the healthy development of children.  Our statewide support, counseling, and therapeutic programs help individuals and families heal from trauma, prevent abuse and neglect, and can break the cycle of generational poverty.
