LACDMH, in collaboration with the California Department of Health Care Services’ CalHOPE Program, has received a SAMHSA Emergency Response Grant to provide mental health and supportive services through June 2026 for residents and communities affected by last year’s wildfires. These services will support people experiencing trauma and crisis; people with adjustment disorders due to fire-related losses or disruptions; and people who need mental health support during the recovery process.
To address the wellbeing needs of fire-impacted residents and communities, LACDMH will operate two walk-in centers: the Eaton Fire Collaborative (540 W. Woodbury Road, Altadena 91001) and the Palisades Fire Collaborative (15247 La Cruz Drive, Los Angeles 90272). At both locations, a broad range of services will be offered by LACDMH and its partners, including: individual and family counseling, crisis stabilization, support groups, case management, wellness activities, and linkage to additional resources.
Both centers will initially be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. Hours of operation will be adjusted as needed to meet community demand.
Residents may also call the LACDMH-run Fire Support Line at (833) 659-0600 to speak to a mental health professional about mental health-related challenges or concerns.
County residents can also get 24/7 support by calling the Los Angeles County Help Line for Mental Health & Substance Use Services at (800) 854-7771; calling or texting the CalHOPE Warm Line at (833) 317-HOPE (4673); or calling or texting SAMHSA’s Disaster Distress Helpline at (800) 985-5990. These and additional resources are posted at dmh.lacounty.gov/disaster-resources.
