Pasadena Library Offers Free Therapeutic Art Sessions for Families Affected by Eaton Canyon Wildfires
STAFF REPORT
Families recovering from the trauma of the Eaton Canyon Wildfires are invited to attend free therapeutic art sessions every Friday this summer, through a joint initiative of Maple Counseling and the Pasadena Public Library.
The next sessions will take place on Friday, July 25, and then on August 1 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Santa Catalina Branch Library.
Open to all ages—ranging from infants and toddlers to teens, emerging adults, adults 50-plus and seniors—the weekly programming is designed to remove financial barriers and support emotional recovery through creative expression. Targeted age groups also include preschoolers, tweens and families with children ages zero to 12.
“Maple Counseling offers evidence-based interventions for depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, stress, and relational problems,” according to the organization’s website maple4counseling.org/about.
The sessions are entirely complementary and guided by mental health professionals from Maple Counseling.
