Hawaii

Hawaii is looking for PR help to promote its effort to provide crisis counseling to targeted communities who are at risk of developing emotional problems as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Dept. of Health wants to focus on people who lost incomes, livelihoods or were displaced or isolated because of the virus. 

It also will target people of "low economic status, as well as children, minorities, persons with mental health illness and/or substance disorder; veterans and other populations deemed to be at risk as a result of the disaster," according to the DoH's RFI.

The goal is " to return persons to the extent possible, to their previous levels of functioning."

The desired PR partner will create a website to serve as a hub of information relevant to those affected by COVID-19.

It will conduct social media/virtual outreach, handle media and PSAs, develop educational materials and host public meetings.

Responses are due Aug. 6 and must be sent via fax to:

Adult Mental Health Division
