A therapeutic support group for individuals affected by the recent LA fires and climate-related tragedies. This space invites participants to process their grief and experiences through guided reflection and expressive art making. No prior art experience is necessary—just a willingness to show up and share.
This group is offered at no cost, made possible through a partnership with Asian Mental Health Collective.
Due to funding limitations and our mission to provide culturally responsive support, priority will be given to individuals who identify as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander (AANHPI) and who have been directly impacted by the LA fires.
Spaces are limited.
