Ho`omaluhia - IVAT Hawai`i Pacific Branch

Ho`omaluhia

A Center of Excellence where East meets West, where indigenous voices are valued and diversity is honored, Ho`omaluhia is the Hawai`i-Pacific branch of the Institute on Violence, Abuse and Trauma (IVAT). 

The organization has been doing business for over 30 years and delivering trainings throughout the Hawaiian Islands and the Pacific for more than 20 years.  Ho`omaluhia’s mission is to improve the quality of life and to contribute to violence-free, abuse-free living for all the peoples of Hawai`i. Recognizing unequal access to systems of justice, protection, health and education by marginalized communities in the Pacific.

Ho`omaluhia/IVAT focuses on addressing inequity in the access to care, and evidenced-based and promising practices in the delivery of care. We provide technical assistance, evaluation and research for programs and systems of care. 

Ho`omaluhia/IVAT’s approach is one of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), working collaboratively with providers and purchasers to improve systems responses and access for our most vulnerable populations.
