REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF WELLNESS AND RESILIENCE TO DEVELOP A REPORT TO ADDRESS THE DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS OF CHILDREN BORN DURING THE CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 PANDEMIC.
This resolution (HR 133) requests Hawaii's Office of Wellness and Resilience to develop a report addressing developmental needs of children born during the 2019-2023 pandemic (specifically those born 2020-2023). The report must cover trauma-informed care strategies, current services from state agencies (like Education, Health, and Human Services), support for families affected by the 2023 Maui wildfires, and resources for educators facing pandemic-related stress. It does not create new laws but mandates a comprehensive analysis to inform future support for children aged birth to 5 who experienced pandemic disruptions. The Office must submit the report to the legislature by December 31, 2025.
