Care for Others

Twelve live trainings for the people who hold up mental health, substance use, houselessness and human services work across our islands.

Seventy five minutes, once a month, taught live by Heather Pierucki, LMHC. September 2026 through August 2027.

Founding cohort closes Thursday 10 September. Register by then and every seat is a further ten percent off, whether you pay up front or monthly, and your agency receives one complimentary 60 minute private consultation with Heather.

Who this is for

Your whole team, not just the licensed ones

Case managers, outreach workers, house staff, peer specialists, front desk, supervisors. The people doing the work every day, who rarely get training built for them.

Buy seats for your agency, or a single seat for yourself. Eleven of the twelve months offer two dates so shifts can be covered. Every session is capped at 40 people.

What it costs

One price for the year

Paying up front saves ten percent, and the founding cohort takes a further ten percent off every seat, whichever way you pay. The prices above are what you pay if you register on or before Thursday 10 September. Hawaii general excise tax is added at checkout, worked out on the discounted amount, and shown as its own line.

Hold your seats

Takes about two minutes. You can name each person afterwards, and change those names any time during the year.

Reserve seats

How it works

Sessions run live on Zoom for 75 minutes. They are never recorded and slides are not sent afterwards, so being there is the whole thing.

Anyone who attends at least 68 minutes receives a personalised certificate within 24 to 48 hours, showing their name, your agency, the topic, the date and 1.25 hours. Suitable for an HR file or CARF documentation.

This series does not carry continuing education credit.

Seats, refunds, changes

Seats belong to the agency, not the person. When someone leaves you can pass their seat to a colleague, as often as you need, with written notice to us.

Cancel a full year registration at any time and we refund the sessions not yet attended, less a $25 processing fee. A single session booking is fully refundable up to 72 hours before it starts.
