COMMUNITY CRISIS RESPONSE

When Our Community Needs Us Most, We Show Up.

Maple Counseling has a long history of mobilizing mental health resources during times of community crisis. Whether responding to natural disasters, food insecurity, public health emergencies, or systemic inequities that compound mental health need, we are committed to being a reliable, responsive presence for the communities we serve.

We address emotional and basic needs together — because healing depends on both.

2025 LOS ANGELES WILDFIRE RESPONSE

Showing Up When It Matters Most

Following the Palisades and Eaton fires, Maple expanded its capacity to provide mental health services to survivors, first responders, and community members displaced by the fires.

Maple mobilized a statewide network of alumni and community therapists to provide free sessions to fire-affected individuals and families, while extended no-cost care was made available to first responders and their households through our partnership with the Beverly Hills Fire Department.
