Abstract

Pono Kaulike is a pilot program for people who plead guilty to criminal offenses, the people hurt by the crimes, and their supporters. The program was piloted in Honoluluʼs District Court of the First Circuit and has been previously described (Walker & Hayashi, 2004 & 2007). “Pono Kaulike uses the solution-focused brief therapy approach, which carefully uses language, and appreciates the importance of relationships in assisting troubled people to find their own solutions to problems” (Walker & Hayashi, 2007 p. 20). Solution-focused approaches are empowering and considered a best practice by the federal government (OJJDP, 2008).
