Who might be a good fit for recovery counseling?

Not everyone impacted by wildfire-related trauma fits the same mold. Here are just a few examples of people who may benefit from support, per Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services:

  • An elementary school teacher in a nearby district, now supporting students who lost their homes and communities. The added stress and daily exposure to the students’ loss is taking an emotional toll.

  • An adult who experienced a natural disaster in childhood and never got the chance to process that trauma. Since the wildfires, they’ve found themselves constantly on edge and struggling to manage day-to-day stress.

  • A landscaper who commuted to the area for years and lost work after the fires. They now feel overwhelmed and anxious about their future.

Whether you see yourself in one of these stories or have your own, please avail yourself of trauma-informed, compassionate care.
