Meet Our Administrative Team

The Kauaʻi Mental Health Advocates is on a mission to destigmatize the issues surrounding mental health through engaging community events, education, and resource sharing. Through this process, we have developed a board of directors responsible for upholding KMHA’s mission.

Co Founder/Administrative and Clinical Team

FRANCI DÁVILA, LCSW

From parents that served their communities in the medical and social service fields, Franci was meant to follow her purpose as a clinician and community advocate. Originally venturing from Connecticut in 2011, Franci had no idea that Kauai would embrace her so beautifully as a permanent resident where she has been able to develop her skills as a mental health practitioner, amateur boxer and coach, training workshop facilitator, and creative community activist and organizer.

Administrative/Clinical Team

NICOLE WALSH, MSW

Through her personal walk with grief, Nicole has developed a deep sense of purpose in supporting those navigating their own grief journeys. Nicole has a background in working with keiki and teens experiencing grief, whether it be from loss through death, separation, or general life transitions.

She is involved in various community-wide support systems for individuals who are grieving of all ages. She honors each individual as an expert in their own grief, collaborating with them to find which tools that work best for their unique grief.

Administrative Team

ALLISON FRASCATORE

A transplant from New Jersey, Allison has had close ties to Kaua'i her entire life, and is dedicated to educating herself and others on how to best serve the place she now calls home.

Moved by KMHA's mission to provide resources and support for the community, Allison led several virtual Community Conversations in conjunction with KMHA. Soon, she was asked to become more involved and join the official board for KMHA, contributing her marketing skills and nonprofit experience to KMHA's mission. As a new mother, Allison is dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive network of mental health resources for the youth of Kaua'i.
