Also, a survey is being conducted by a UH Manoa social work student, Lydia for kūpunas affected by COVID-19 restrictions. This is to gather responses from anyone connected to kūpuna: administrators, caregivers, family members as well as kūpuna themselves. From there a program will be created for kūpuna that addresses the gaps in service identified in your responses. Participants will lend essential insight into the problems weʻre seeking to explore. Both surveys are confidential and available in both hard copy and as an online survey. Here’s the link to both surveys:
