Online Support Groups Near Honolulu

Whether you are in Kailua, Kaneohe, Pearl City, Kapolei or somewhere else on Oahu, ShareWell has live online support groups that cross the ocean. Honolulu is a place where family means everything, and more and more families here are split between the islands and the mainland, with the people you love a long flight away.

Local life

Family across the water

Oahu is home, and staying here has become hard for many of the people who grew up here. Grown children leave for college or work in Las Vegas, Seattle or California, parents remain in the house in Aiea or Mililani, and the family that once sat down together every Sunday now gathers on a video call. Those who stay often hold two jobs to afford it and live with several generations under one roof, which is a comfort and also a reason there is no quiet place to fall apart. Military families posted to the island arrive with no local circle and leave just as they build one. The time difference with the mainland means that by the time a daughter in Seattle is free to talk, her mother in Honolulu is cooking dinner.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Honolulu

A peer group is a steady weekly connection that does not depend on a flight. You join from home on Oahu at a time that works in Hawaii time, meet people who understand living far from the people they love, and the group is still there if you are the one who eventually moves.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to live in Honolulu to join?

No. Groups are online, so you can join from Kailua, Kaneohe, Pearl City, Aiea, Kapolei, Ewa Beach, Mililani or any of the islands.

Are there groups at a reasonable hour in Hawaii time?

Yes. Because members join from every US time zone, there are groups through the morning, afternoon and early evening in Hawaii time, and this page shows the ones that fit the local day.

Can I join from Maui, Kauai or the Big Island?

Yes. The groups are online and open to anyone in the state, and the times shown adjust to your device.

Can my family member on the mainland join the same group?

Yes. Some families use the same weekly group as a shared time, and the group time works out to a different local hour for each of you.
