Brian Hauser, AILH’s Advocacy Coordinator, has been out and about in the community representing AILH at various programs and events ensuring our support and advocacy of disability awareness.
On May 2nd, Brian attended the Maui Mayor’s mental health proclamation ceremony recognizing this under-served population. Mental health is a hidden disability, which is often not recognized. May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
