In this special episode of My Therapist is Out!, we’re bringing you a powerful live recording from the LA Queer Events Coalition Wildfire Relief Town Hall. This panel discussion, moderated by Carla Ibarra (@lacivilrights), brings together LGBTQ+ leaders, mental health professionals, and community advocates to address the impact of the LA wildfires and how our community is coming together to rebuild.

With insights from incredible panelists—including Aaron Burns, Brittany Bennett,  James Hughes , James Santana, Queen Shannon Gibson, Renae Johnson , Wendy Nystrom—this episode is a must-listen for anyone invested in LGBTQ+ resilience and mutual aid.

Because when disaster strikes, community is everything.
