Breastfeeding may be natural, but it's also a skill that takes practice. Preparing before baby arrives and finding support in case you encounter problems can help you meet your breastfeeding goals.

HTA is exploring a new K-12 program in Lahaina to help Maui families recovering from the wildfires.

Staff and families from our Kīhei campus live in Lahaina and are helping to spearhead this effort. Our statewide network and our education model would allow us to quickly establish a program to help those in need.

Interested families can find a link on the home page of our website — myhta.org — that provides some starting information and a place to sign-up if you are interested. Details of the program would be shaped by Lahaina family needs.
