If you’ve been impacted by the recent Eaton Fire, there are important resources and upcoming events designed to help you navigate the recovery process. From understanding your insurance options to avoiding potential scams, a workshop hosted by the California Department of Insurance on January 25th and 26th, 2025, at PCC College will provide valuable guidance.
A network supporter provided us with a list of therapists offering pro bono services to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. This initiative aims to provide essential mental health support to survivors and first responders. The list ensures that those impacted by the disaster have access to free, professional therapy during a challenging time.
