Not every girl comes to school carrying just books. Some carry trauma, grief, and emotions that feel too heavy to share. Trauma isn’t always visible on the outside — and many girls hold more inside than they let on. But support can make all the difference. 💙

This school year, let’s make sure every girl feels safe, seen, and supported. ✨ Learn more at health.hawaii.gov/kealahou.

You show up to school every day — on time, prepared, maybe even smiling. But what no one sees is what you’re carrying. Grief. Fear. Memories that don’t go away just because the bell rings. Some girls carry more than books to school. And sometimes, just showing up takes everything you’ve got. You’ve learned how to hide the heavy stuff — but that doesn’t mean you have to carry it alone. Support won’t erase the past, but it can help you feel safe enough to keep going.

Swipe to learn what trauma can look like and how healing can begin. Visit health.hawaii.gov/kealahou for support and resources.

Psychosis can feel different for everyone. Sometimes it feels harder to focus, stay connected, or understand what’s going on. These feelings are real, and support is here whenever you need it. Learn more about the signs and find support at health.hawaii.gov/ontrackhi.

Sometimes, how you feel can be hard to understand. Psychosis can make the world feel different — distant, even distorted. But even when things feel overwhelming, one act of care can make a difference.

Showing up with love, not judgment, opens the door to connection and healing. You don’t have to have all the answers. Just being there matters. Start with care. Find support at health.hawaii.gov/ontrackhi.
