California Crisis Hope Counselors, Megan Karlock and Jennifer Olson, talk about how some people believe they should be over what occurred during the fires, but some are just starting to assess how it has affected them, the four groups they have around the county working for four different agencies to help all different types of people, the free, confidential, and mobile counseling they offer, where their funding comes from, and how unique our community is with the plethora of non-profit’s we have in our community:
California HOPE counselors specialize in helping survivors understand their current reactions, reduce stress, receive emotional support, prioritize needs and solve problems, choose coping strategies, and connect with people and agencies who can help.
