LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rebuilding Lives Amid Devastation: FamilyTime Centers Offers Free Mental Health Support

As Los Angeles faces the relentless devastation of wildfires, FamilyTime Centers is stepping up to provide a lifeline. The organization is offering free professional mental health therapy to fire survivors, first responders, and their families, ensuring that no one is left to navigate these challenges alone.

"The fires have taken so much from our community—homes, memories, and a sense of safety—but the emotional toll can be just as overwhelming," said Michael Kaufman, Executive Director of FamilyTime Centers. "Trauma doesn't end when the fires do. Survivors and first responders carry the weight of these experiences long after the smoke clears. At FamilyTime Centers, we're committed to helping individuals process grief, trauma, and loss as they work to rebuild their lives and move forward."

Why This Matters: A Crisis Beyond the Flames

The fires continue to burn, leaving families returning to devastated homes and first responders grappling with the emotional weight of their experiences:

• Fire Survivors are struggling with trauma, grief, and the daunting uncertainty of rebuilding their lives.
• First Responders bear the heavy burden of witnessing unimaginable destruction and loss firsthand.
• Families face the ripple effects of displacement, loss, and the emotional strain of starting over.

FamilyTime Centers is offering free, compassionate therapy sessions to help those affected process these challenges. Through tailored, trauma-informed care, participants receive the tools they need to heal, rebuild, and find hope amid the devastation.
