Yesterday, California Professional Firefighters (CPF) hosted a behavioral health live webinar "The Hidden Toll of COVID-19." Open to firefighters, dispatchers, lifeguards, fire personnel, and family members this webinar provided important tools to build resiliency for our members and our families during this time of crisis.
The webinar panel included our own LACoFD Peer Support Coordinator Scott Ross, LACoLA Peer Team Lead Lauren Dale, and LACoFD Nurse and Peer Support Member Nancy Alvarez.
Thank you to all the people, members and families, from across California who joined the webinar and sent questions into our panelist. As we continue to cope with the effects of COVID-19 for our members and our families remember to reach out if to our Peer Support Team if you need to or visit Healing Our Own to access more resources.

1014 Blood Drive
The Red Cross is experiencing a severe shortage of blood due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has not only limited donors but also available sites for blood drives. As part of our commitment to our communities, we are hosting a blood drive and partnering with Supervisor Hilda Solis to help get the word out that we need donors.
This drive will be open to the public but by appointment only. No walk-in accepted. We also require donors to fill out an online form in advance, wear a face covering or mask for your appointment, and adhere to our social distancing requirements.
