    Crisis and Disaster Response: Supporting Survivors

    with Elaine Miller-Karas, LCSW

    Disasters like the recent Los Angeles wildfires devastate a community’s infrastructure and create significant mental health challenges. It is essential for mental health providers to offer disaster-informed interventions – not only during the immediate crisis but throughout the long-term recovery process. The key concepts and wellness skills of the evidence-based Community and Trauma Resiliency Models will be presented. They are designed to support recovery and healing following traumatic experiences and have been brought to disasters worldwide, including the Los Angeles, Lahaina, and Paradise wildfires. Grounded in neuroscience, these biologically based models teach six wellness skills that help restore balance to the mind, body, and spirit.

    Educational Goals/Learning Objectives:

    To increase participants’ knowledge and practical clinical skills in responding to individuals and communities during crises and disasters.

    At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

    1. Identify the three basic skills of the Trauma and Community Resiliency Models and how they can be applied to disaster settings.
    2. Identify two or more key concepts of the Community Resiliency Model and how they correspond to helping survivors of disasters.

      Presenter:

      Elaine Miller-Karas, LCSW (she/her) is co-founder and Director of Innovation of the Trauma Resource Institute (TRI). She developed the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) and the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM). Her book Building Resilience to Trauma: the Trauma and Community Resiliency Models gained recognition from the United Nations. She contributes to Psychology Today, providing expertise on trauma-related topics. Her podcast, Resiliency Within, is available on iTunes. She has responded to disasters worldwide and has presented at the U.N., the Global Fund, Catalyst 2030, Psychotherapy Networker, and the Skoll World Forum.

          White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

          Third Sunday of Every Month

          Next Meeting:
          Sunday, June 22, 2025
          3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

          Online Via Zoom

          The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

          How Do I Join? To join this group, please click here to complete our online submission form. Once submitted, a group facilitator will reach out to you for next steps.

          Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

          For more information or if you have additional questions, please send all inquiries to the facilitators at WTFR@lacamft.org.

          Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group

          First Monday of Every Month

          Next Meeting:
          Monday, July 7, 2025
          9:30am-10:30am

          Online Via Zoom

          Free Registration

          The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

          Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

            Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

            For more information, contact the facilitators at mena@lacamft.org.

                Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members

                White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

                Third Sunday of Every Month

                Next Meeting:
                Sunday, August 17, 2025
                3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

                Online Via Zoom

                The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

                The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

                Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

                  Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

                        White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

                        Third Sunday of Every Month

                        Next Meeting:
                        Sunday, November 16, 2025
                        3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

                        Online Via Zoom

                        The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

                        First Monday of Every Month

                        Next Meeting:
                        Monday, December 1, 2025

                        The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

                        Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

                          Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.
