APPLY FOR ASSISTANCEProtection & Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI)
We believe that those suffering from mental illness deserve to live free from harm. The Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) Act ensures that the rights of people with mental illness are protected.
Following PAIMI guidelines, HDRC advocates for the rights of individuals with mental illnesses or emotional impairments and investigates incidents of abuse and neglect. We are here to help you with:
- Information and referrals.
- Investigation of incidents of abuse and neglect, whether the incidents are reported or if there is probable cause to believe that the incidents occurred.
- Access to care or treatment facilities in Hawai‘i.
To determine your eligibility for PAIMI or for more information or referrals, call us at (808) 949-2922 or email an advocate at [email protected].
