About Us
The word "Ohana" comes from the Hawaiian culture and means "family." However, it goes beyond the traditional definition of family to include not just blood relatives but also extended family, friends, and community members who share a bond of love, support, and mutual care. The concept of Ohana emphasizes the importance of connection, togetherness, and the idea that everyone is part of a larger family or community. This aligns beautifully with the mission of Ohana Mental Health.
At Ohana Mental Health, we believe in the power of connection, compassion, and community. Our mission is to provide holistic and accessible mental health services to individuals and families in Minnesota and beyond. We are dedicated to creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
