Group and one-on-one counseling led by licensed professionals in partnership with Maple Counseling Center.

How to Register for Group Counseling

Through our partnership with Maple Counseling Center, we offer free, professionally facilitated support groups for anyone affected by the January 2025 Palisades wildfires. Whether you're processing loss, navigating how disaster has affected your relationships, or simply need a consistent space to feel supported – these groups are for you.

All groups require advance registration – including the drop-in group. To get started, call the Care Coordinator at 310-584-1326 to register by phone.
