Wildfire Resources
We know that safety and meeting basic needs are top priorities especially in difficult times. As you focus on caring for your family, your children may ask tough questions or show strong emotions. It’s normal to see changes in mood, behavior, sleep, or appetite after a traumatic experience.
One of the most important things you can do is simply be present. Talk with your children, keep small routines when you can, and make space for light, distracting activities. And while you’re supporting them, remember your mental health matters, too.
Here are some tools to help support your children during this time: Natural Disasters and Loss and Change, LA County Parks, that will provide youth and teens with a supportive space for fun and recreation, including music, arts and crafts, sports activities, and field trips to the LA County Natural History Museum, La Brea Tar Pits, Dodger Stadium, and more. See their video on the camps here. For more info email: recprograms@parks.lacounty.gov.
