  Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group
  

  First Monday of Every Month

  (please note: this month is the Second Monday)

  Next Meeting:
  Monday, September 14, 2026
  9:00am-10:00am

  Online Via Zoom

  

  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.

  Lighting the Way: Interventions for Teens and Their Families in Navigating Suicide Risk

  with Nicole Siegfried, PhD, CEDS-C

  Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among youth ages 14-24, yet many clinicians receive limited training in the assessment and treatment of adolescent suicidality. Family involvement is essential in supporting recovery, but clinicians often lack practical tools to educate and engage caregivers. This workshop will provide attendees with a comprehensive intervention toolbox for working with suicidal teens and their families. Participants will learn to understand the suicidal mind through a driver-based lens, conduct suicide risk assessments, determine risk level, and implement effective intervention and safety planning strategies. Although the presentation focuses on adolescents, the clinical principles and interventions presented are applicable to clinicians working with suicidal clients across the lifespan. Attendees will leave with greater competence, confidence, and hope in treating suicidal individuals and their families.

  Educational Goals:

  Attendees will demonstrate competence in the assessment and treatment of suicidality in adolescents while effectively engaging and supporting families throughout the intervention process.

  Learning Objectives:

  By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

  1. Describe the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral characteristics of the suicidal mind.
  2. Differentiate suicide risk levels using a structured assessment process and identify corresponding clinical interventions.
  3. Demonstrate the use of a family-centered safety and stabilization plan to reduce suicide risk and increase caregiver engagement.

  Presenter:

  Dr. Nicole Siegfried, PhD, CEDS-C (she/her) is the Chief Clinical Officer for Lightfully Behavioral Health and is a licensed clinical psychologist. She has worked in mental health for over 20 years and has served in national leadership positions for the past 10 years. She specializes in complex mental health disorders, eating disorders, and suicide. Nicole believes that recovery is possible for all individuals with mental health disorders, and that all individuals are capable and deserving of a life worth living.

  Third Sunday of Every Month

  Next Meeting:
  Sunday, September 20, 2026
  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.

  Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

  Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group
  

  First Monday of Every Month

  Next Meeting:
  Monday, December 7, 2026
  9:00am-10:00am

  Online Via Zoom

  

  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.

  White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)
  

  Third Sunday of Every Month

  Next Meeting:
  Sunday, December 20, 2026
  3:00pm-5:00pm

  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.

  Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.
