Who We Are

Tautua’s Mission is a dedicated organization focused on preventing suicide through awareness, education,
and compassionate centered support tailored to communities across Hawaii and beyond.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every individual in Hawaii and beyond has access to compassionate, culturally aligned, and community-centered support. By fostering awareness and strengthening connections to resources, we strive to ensure that no one faces a mental health crisis alone.

Our Mission

Tautua’s Mission is dedicated to preventing suicide through awareness, education, and resource accessibility. Our goal is to empower individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize and support those in crisis.

Our Story

Our story began with Tautua Leo Edwin Reed, who died by suicide at 30 years old just four months after being diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. After they looked through his phone, police let us know that he was continuously looking for help online.

Both Tautua and our family did not have the knowledge or support needed to go through this experience. We did not know how and where to get support.
After his funeral, many people going through the same experience asked us for help because we had gone through it. This compelled us to continue to look for resources so families didn’t have to go through the same loss that we had gone through.

Tautua’s Mission was launched – 2 years after his passing – now that we are equipped with knowledge of local resources and support, are prepared to provide suicide awareness/prevention trainings, and funding for scholarships for those looking to become mental health professionals.
