The panel in our May 6, 2021 Life Interrupted webinar (clockwise from upper left): HONOLULU Magazine’s Robbie Dingeman, Kathleen Rhoads Merriam, Allana Coffee, Mestisa Gass, Dan Chun, Dr. Josephine Horita.
Dr. Josephine Horita, psychiatrist at the Kāhala Clinic for Children & Family, reminds her patients that we’ve learned a lot about living through upheaval and most of us now have a tool kit for surviving what’s ahead. “To help reduce anxiety is to reflect as a family, as a community to say what works, and let’s have that as a manual.”
First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu Pastor Dan Chun says he’s seeing a wide range of reactions from introverts who coped well in the beginning to folks losing hope. His message: “Never give up. And I would just put a footnote to that, reach out to at least one person to communicate how you’re doing.”

The pandemic changed our community and our world dramatically in 2020. Now, our lives are shifting again as we figure out our best next steps. This opening session tackles the big picture: Thursday, May 6: “Changes for Home, Work, Community.”
We saw our world shift in so many ways: work from home, school at home; losing jobs or letting them take over our lives; missing many milestones while connecting in different and sometime more meaningful ways; seeing so much of some family members while missing others. Experts say the world and our part of it will continue to adapt in the coming months. How do we move forward safely and cautiously as we strive to recover some of what we lost and find a better path forward.

HONOLULU (AP) The Punahou School will end its practice of granting free tuition for one child for new employees starting in 2022.
New hires at the school are now scheduled to receive a $5,000 discount in tuition for one child, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported on Friday.
Current school employees will be grandfathered into the new policy and receive a $28,000 tuition discount after 2022. Tuition during the 2021-22 school year is expected to cost $27,716.
“It is a major decision as it’s something that almost every private school has that they give free tuition to at least the first child,” said Philip Bossert, executive director of the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools.
