    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.

          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.

          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.

              IFS in Tune: Harmonizing Your Inner System for Therapeutic Clarity

              with Nydia E. Guity, LCSW

              Internal Family Systems (IFS) is, at its core, an internal process. Clinicians need tools not only to support their clients, but also to recognize and navigate their own internal dynamics. IFS offers practical tools to help clinicians reset after sessions, regain balance, and reduce the risk of burnout. This presentation invites you to explore IFS as a way to tune in to your inner emotional landscape – where your thoughts, emotions, and inner parts each carry their own tune and rhythm, much like a personal playlist. You’ll be introduced to key IFS principles, including how Curiosity and Compassion can support emotional resilience. Participants will leave with practical strategies for managing stress, deepening self-understanding, and maintaining therapeutic clarity and flow in both personal and professional contexts.

              Educational Goals/Learning Objectives:

              To introduce participants to Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy by helping them tune in to the various “tracks” of their inner emotional playlist, guiding them to strengthen the “muscle” of the 8 C’s – Curiosity, Compassion, Clarity, Calm, Confidence, Courage, Creativity, and Connection – ultimately fostering greater self-awareness and emotional harmony.

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

              1. Recognize the different “tracks” of their inner emotional landscapes and learn how IFS principles can help harmonize these parts, creating a more balanced internal experience.
              2. Discover practical tools to manage stress, improve emotional well-being, and enhance relationships.

                Presenter:

                Nydia E. Guity, LCSW (she/her/ella) is a psychotherapist specializing in Internal Family Systems therapy. She completed the Advanced Training Program in IFS in 2024. Proudly identifying as Garifuna and Afro-Indigenous, Nydia was born in the Bronx, New York, and has familial roots in Honduras. Her practice is deeply committed to supporting women of the African diaspora. Additionally, she offers psychedelic integration therapy to facilitate profound personal growth. Outside of therapy, she hosts the Naturally Ever After podcast, where she blends her personal natural hair journey with emotional wellness and growth.

                    Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group

                    First Monday of Every Month

                    Next Meeting:
                    Monday, August 4, 2025
                    9:30am-10:30am

                    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.

                      Online Via Zoom

                      A safe place for healing, connection, support and building community. In this group, licensed clinicians, associates and students can come together and process experiences of racism (systemic, social, and internalized), discrimination, implicit bias, and micro-aggressions, along with additional experiences that therapists of African descent encounter in the field of mental health. As the late great Maya Angelou once said, “As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal someone else.” May this space, be the support needed to facilitate that journey.

                      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.

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.

                            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.

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.

                                Black Therapist Support Group

                                Second Monday of Every Month

                                Next Meeting:
                                Monday, December 8, 2025
                                6:00 pm-7:30 pm (PT)

                                Online Via Zoom

                                A safe place for healing, connection, support and building community. In this group, licensed clinicians, associates and students can come together and process experiences of racism (systemic, social, and internalized), discrimination, implicit bias, and micro-aggressions, along with additional experiences that therapists of African descent encounter in the field of mental health. As the late great Maya Angelou once said, “As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal someone else.” May this space, be the support needed to facilitate that journey.

                                Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

                                For more information, contact the Diversity Committee.

                                White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

                                Third Sunday of Every Month

                                Next Meeting:
                                Sunday, December 21, 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.
