Maui Wildfires FREE Online Community Groups: Sharing Your Aloha
Come and share your experiences and process your feelings regarding the recent Maui wildfires with people in the community in a safe place. These groups are a way to decompress and desensitize your experience. Sponsored by Lehualani Center and led by Maui resident and clinical psychologist Dr. Sarah Nani Williams in partnership with other skilled clinicians trained in crisis debriefing, groups will utilize tools and techniques to process the recent devastation.
If you are looking for other ways to help our community, please consider donating to assist us in growing and providing these facilitated community groups and other programs free to those processing the Maui fires.
May your days flow with ease and joy
and may your essence have space to shine.
– Dr. Sarah
