Emotional Impacts and Support Needs in School Communities

Affected by the 2025 Los Angeles Fires

 

We are currently conducting a research study to learn how members of affected school communities are coping with the mental health impacts of the 2025 Los Angeles megafires, document existing resources they are using to cope, and gain insights to develop novel mental health supports for fire-impacted school communities. The study is a needs and landscape assessment in school communities impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires. We will engage community participants, including parents, educators (teachers, administrators, and staff), and students.
